I needed to go to the hospital to be with a relative who is very ill. It is a week today that I had my surgery and I am not even sure if I should have risked it. My daughter dropped me off in the front of the hospital and my dear mother, 81,grabbed a wheel chair for me as it was a long hike to our destination. On the way in she bumped the chair and I into the door. Leg got a little shaking.
Going on to the elevator I got side swiped. My mother couldn't get me off
the elevator so a kind gentleman grabbed my leg (no idea why) and I screamed. Another little shaking. By this point I was exhausted and my poor mother was soo stressed. I did arrive in one piece at our destination. I couldn't stay too long as I was in pain. My daughter wheeled me back.
Getting out of the van was another struggle. I iced my leg right away.
I hope I didn't do any damage to my leg. It is very sore. Every muscle hurts.
While I am at it, I am wondering if I will still have trouble after swelling is down to bend my leg. Of course the leg has been stiff since surgery, but today it appears more so. I am worried about this manipulation I hear about.
Do most people have this done?
