Well got out of hospital yesterday afternoon, going to miss it in a funny sort of way .definitely going to miss the banter. Didn'r realize my bed was so low to the floor lol but easy to get into. Had a really comfortable night, no pain,no waking up in agony in middle of night,surprisingly ,just comparing past experience.
Slept till 10.30am ,. Pete's made me a milky coffee, Ive done a few exercises this morning to pull knee back without too much pain.All in all I feel surprisingly good today.
But I know me and know I try to run before I can walk so going to have tell myself to behave this time.....
Would love to go out for a walk this morning though, the weather looks gorgeous out there

    It is a lovely day Eileen

    To welcome you home :D

    Sounds like all is well in the babytiger household and your knee is healing well :wink:

    My old bed was low too - asy enough to get into, but harder to get out of :lol:

    I am sure you will be a good girl and take it steady

    Love

    Great you are home, we are both going to keep an eye on each other and make sure we don't do to much, I have done some excerises and had a couple of sessions with the ice pack, now going for a wash, don't want another evening like yesterday. Keep up the good work.
    P.S. I have a physio app this Tues when's your's.

    Go for a drive instead :lol: Or borrow a wheelchair. Rest and exercises, remember?
    If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

    Never heard anything from Physio, If there's no phone call from them tomorrow, I'm gonna give them a call.Had a phone call from district nurse today though saying she's been told by Sheffield to come for a home visit. "whats this for " she asks me oh right so what kind of stiches you got.. I told her I don't know but ive a letter for you, dressings and a stich puller to give you AND I will be in when you come as I cant walk .... Definitely back to sunny scunny

    Ive been on Prune juice lol.... just had my 1st bath ,although I didn't put much water in and it was more a quick dip but boy it felt good.Physio's never phoned today so maybe a call to them tomorrow but have found my old exercise plan which I have been trying.
    Don't know about you but boy have I felt tired today.
