Good evening everyone
It is 12:57am in the UK. I am in Guys Hospital, day 2 post total knee replacement surgery.
My second time around and OMG how different this one is!
The last one was extremely painful, but I managed to get up walking with a frame, the very next day.
This one is very different. I cannot put my foot to the floor without being in excruciating pain.
It is so much worse and I am so disappointed.
I am so devastated that I have to keep asking for a bed pan.
It’s just so depressing.
The physio has had me out of the bed twice yesterday. Standing is ok but I cannot weight bear on my left leg.
I know two operations are not the same but I thought this one may be easier.
I know it’s going to take time.
The doctor now wants me to have a scan to rule out a blood clot. Only problem is it’s bank holiday weekend here and can’t be done until Tuesday
Feeling very frustrated and disappointed right now.
