It gets better. Managed to stand up this morning before practically fainting. Did it twice. Got back into bed and lay down. No meds so demanded paracetamol. Had lunch and then the Arrival of the Consultant with his Entourage. He takes one look at the big ice pack that James The Torture Physio. But quite nice really and exclaims “ What an EARTH is THAT?” the Entourage giggle nervously. I explain calmly it is an ice pack and helping me manage the pain without Morphine. The great man lowers his very bushy eyebrows in a frown and says he can understand it used on knees but not on Hips. Anyway the op went well and he is pleased but cannot understand why I am not using the toilet yet! Arrrgh! I can barely walk three steps and it is very painful. He then tells me that I must lose more weight when I am better and it will take me two years. I know that but he is smiling in a christopher Lee sort of way so I smile back... Anyway he sweeps out and James and Sophie the two Physios walk in. I tell them all three of us are “in trouble”. And here I go again with the standing. This time I make it to the chair and don’t feel faint. Currently sitting here eyeing up the loo and wondering whether to try that - with help.
James is sympathetic and has agreed to make up another ice pack. They use it all the time in the Clavadel where I am going next!
Hope I am not boring anyone but the day to day blog helps clarify my thoughts.
Over and out.
