Frogmella Update

Hi!

Things are going well still. The clips removal was uncomfortable but I have had worse things done to me! To be honest the irritated skin from the dressing was at least as bad! It was just so nice to be able to have a shower, even if I do have to wait for Mr F to be around to put my surgical stockings back on afterwards!

I have been walking everyday and building the distance and time up gradually. I did 27 minutes yesterday at a fairly brisk pace. The physio in hospital said that I should walk with purpose or else it was pointless. I am worried that maybe I am doing too much or too little! So scared that might mess things up. Fortunately I see my surgeon on Tuesday so I am going to ask for specific guidance!

My back is still sore, especially where the drains were. I have been having some muscle pain, but I would expect that that is normal given what has been done in there! The good news is that I have had pretty much no leg or foot pain since the op. He had said that the op was for my back pain and that curing nerve pain would be a bonus - well it seems that maybe I have got that bonus!

I am not even three weeks post op yet and already feel bored being stuck in the house all day. I am sure that that is also a good sign!

I will let you know what he says on Tuesday. Hope I don't get told off for doing too much or too little.
