Well peeps, I'm Back.....

Gotta phone call offering me a cancellation slot "out of the blue" for surgery within 48 hours and YES - I've been done..... :D

Bilateral PFJ replacements....

My gosh it was certainly a shock to the system and yes it hurt.... But now home and starting the long recovery process of exercises and mobility etc.

I have got the District Nurses coming out tomorrow to remove ALL 49 STAPLES :o Not really looking forward to that, but guess it will make movement a bit easier once done, and two clean dressings applied...

Struggling with Lifting my legs off the bed, but guess the muscles will stregthen in time...

I managed to climb the stairs when I got home, and my gosh it was extremely hard, so I will stay upstairs a few days before I attempt venturing back down...

Well signing off for now, exercises to do.... Hope your all well....xx
hugs freesia xxx
