Hello all! Fully recovered from the long drive and lovely garden furniture
Went back to work on Monday which was a real shock to the system. I was exhausted! Tuesday and Wednesday equally frazzling and today I am recovering. I even managed to wear ankle boots with heals which was fine although I do prefer flat.
I had my first check up with surgeon on Tuesday. He moved my leg, poked my hip asked if it hurt and that was about that
. He said his job was to make me feel slightly paranoid about keeping my hip straight, no twisting and no letting leg fall over centre line eg crossing them as it puts pressure on the hip. Keep feet square with hips etc I will do my best to remember but I am used to moving just about normally now and it is not always in the forefront of my mind. He also said that to be very careful of infection as it goes straight to metalwork
Apparently cat scratches are worst but he also said be careful of the dogs. I must admit I came out with more worries than I went in with which is not good really. Anyhoo he doesn't want to see me for a year or 10 months now. He showed me the xray and took a pic for me which is nice.
Had a bit of a scare with hubs as he went for a routine colonoscopy and they have found 2 polyps and diagnosed mild diverticulitis. He has never had any issues in that dept so was a massive shock. They removed one and he needs to go back for the other to be removed. So quite worried about it all. Hoping that everything is OK.
All in all has been quite a challenging week with one thing and another but sure it will all sort itself out
