Hi
Been to physio this morning and my knee bend is now 90%, im not saying its comfortable but in the exercises I can achieve it....Now doing straight leg lifts too, started off with little cushion under it but its happening now....Am also down to one crutch, the good leg...
Asked about the anti embolism stockings as im shedding like a reptile, its sooo disgusting! Been told to also massage wound with baby oil and it will improve the skin condition and make the scar less visible....
All going well....

That is so good Elaine.
Well done, you should be really proud of yourself.
I can empathise with the shedding skin, I'm suffering the same after my wrist fusion. I leave a trail where ever I go
Keep up the good work.

It sounds as if all is well and that is good.If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

Got some baby oil today, me dad took me for some, bless him! Feels funny to massge it in but it should make the scar less prominent!

Hi Babytiger
My scar is so much neater than my loose body removal one which is at the side of my TKR scar, it used to turn blue when cold and purple when hot....Im hoping this one will be less so it is 8 inches mind!

Hi Barbara
Thanks, yes I know you are genuinely delighted, seems an age away from when i sent that text in hospital and was as miserable as sin!
Onwards and upwards eh?
