3rd day post op

[DEREK2210]

Hi thanks for all the kind messages I have received

I am home now, I left hospital yesterday exactly 72 hours after going in, any problems were cleared up

Ive been exercising this morning on edge of bed and had a walk round

then resting with ice and so on

I have very little pain, the odd twinge now and again but I am keeping my pain relief topped up, I'm taking tramadol and paracetamol at present which is keeping any pain at bay

Just a fair bit of hard work now getting the bending to work

Thanks again Derek

hi Allanah

don't know about brave, and I'm whinging quite a bit aswell, but we will get there, I'm really positive whats the point of all this and then not doing my bit towards it

thanks again Derek

Great that you're home. It's the bends that are the difficult part - ice, stay on top of the pain, do your exercises and within a matter of weeks, all being well, you'll be dancing!

Take care
