On Friday they put me on crutches, and showed me some exercises to start stretching my muscles - I still stand quite twisted due to the amount of time I was in pain before the operation. Really started to feel confident in moving in and out of bed, and walking around although still a bit concerned about overdoing it.
Saturday was even better - I had a shower and washed my hair, and attacked the wine list with my dinner - Hub and Big Girl came to see me, so we all raised a glass to the ongoing success of the op.
Sunday I came home! It knocked me up a bit actually, the trip in the car was quite strange because you become aware of every single shift in gravity and weight as you are travelling.
Monday I had another shower, this time in the cubicle that Hub has built while I have been in hospital. Bless him, he hovers like a mother hen at the moment and keeps threatening to take away my crutches. This morning, Tuesday, for example, we were in the bathroom where is is putting in a handgrab at the side of the loo, and he caught me cleaning the sink and tile surround - this is the sort of thing I can do on one leg so can't see the problem, and it is good for me to be on my feet and busy, within reason. Still, he is back to work tomorrow which gives me a bit of leeway.
Had an E mail from Little Boss to tell me that Big Boss has gone, left the company! Damn, and I missed it! Must get the inside info now! What a time to have off work, when it is all kicking off.
