Good afternoon ladies! I now have lovely brown glossy hair.. Not a sign of grey now. Harry my hairdresser was amazed at how much it had grown over 2.5 months.
A tiring day yesterday partly due to a bad night's sleep the night before, a one hour drive to work with my neighbour - in his Jaguar (!) but we had a lot of traffic. 10 minute before we arrived at my workplace, Simon my neighbour said "do you want a massage?" WHAT!!!!!!
Turned out the seats in his very Posh Car had a built in massage facility. So he pressed a button and I had mechanical fingers running up and down my spine. So when he offloaded me at the Uni my work colleagues were treated to me
a) having the door opened for me (hubby never does this!)
b) Simon handing me my crutch and me, laughing, kissing him on the cheek
c) And my parting shot to him to "switch off the massage parlour" before he picked up his next passenger..
So my walk to the office looked like a "Walk of Shame"…. There were "looks"…….
Worked for 5 hours then to the hairdresser for 2 hours followed by dinner so a lot of sitting on my backside. All good however and a much better night's sleep last night. I do have a thick pillow to put between my legs before turning to the non op side and it stops the op hip stretching too much..
Today I have been working from home and took a break mid-day to go out to lunch with hubby. Completely forgot to bring a cushion and didn't need it. Progress.. Back home and did another 2 hours work so that is enough for today.
Tomorrow is work and physio. Not sure how I am getting to work but hubby picking me up and taking me to Physio. I think more massage needed.
Stiffness in the thigh after sitting and some burning pain around the top of the incision but it is better than yesterday. Now trying to massage around that area 3 times a day when I can and that seems to help.
I followed
@cpollock 's recovery thread and her timeline of recovery seems very similar to mine and she has had a good outcome. This is where Bonesmart really helps.
The Birthday Dinner will be next week - more of this later ;-) Plans are afoot…there may be Gin… . mwah ha ha!
