Hello ladies thank you
@Layla and
@EmEm for popping in and seeing if all is good :0)
After my eurphoric post over a week ago about my restrictions being lifted I have had a rough week!!!
This journey is certainly a roller coaster of a ride!!!
I had a couple of days of being thrilled that I was getting about with one crutch and weight baring, felt so free!
Then came the pain, every time I would step on my operated leg I would get shooting pain in the joint/ groin to my knee and down my shin! I started to get worried that I had over done things or worse that I had done some damage! By Wed I was really low and actually said to hubby that I was regretting having the operation :o( Sleep was non exsistant which made it worse!
However on Thursday I saw my physio who is wonderful, we had a good chat about all that I had been through, explained what my body had gone through and the fact that I was in week 1 in walking terms as I had been non weight baring for the first 4.5 weeks! She reassured me that all was well and the healing going in the right direction! Reenforced that we all heal at different levels! I think I cried a little bit with relief and nice to have the understanding and compassion. She showed me a couple of easy exercises to help with the groin and knee pain which has helped immensely, followed by a wonderful massage... I left there floating on air!
I have since had huge improvement with the pain and walking.. feeling positive again :9)
Didn't want too post on here with my 'downer' attitude to bring the mood down... which I know is crazy as you are all here for support, which I am very grateful for :0)
Layla my back is up and down but does seem better these past couple of days thank you x
EmEm I hope you are dong well and sleeping ok?. I love your pillow fort idea.. ha it must take us 20 mins to get settled for bed ;0) I actually left the downstairs bedroom and went back upstairs to my own bed three nights ago and have slept much better. I Was starting to dread going to bed downstairs as I associated it with sleepless/ uncomfortable nights!
@Gretel i hope your pillow reconfiguration works out :0)
Sorry about my woe-ish message but ending on a positive up beat note, the sun is shining, hubby is off work and I am feeling much much better thank you for listening have a wonderful Sunday
