Update
Just got back from a lovely holiday in France. The leki stick stayed in the car... I manged to walk up a few hills, took paracetemol to avoid stiffness and had lovely hot baths when I could. Managed creaky stairs in old hotels without a problem and getting in and out of baths.
Almost all the stiffness I was moaning about now resolved. Scar still looks rather red 8 months on so guess there is still some healing to do. using body lotion and scar oil helping.. Most of the beds I slept in were really comfortable but, after one nights sleep back at home, one of my toes is back to looking arthritic and painful and stiffness in upper leg this morning. I am going to look into a thick mattress topper before investing in a new mattress but I think that is in my future..
Hope everyone is doing well!
