That’s the first week done. I can:

• Stand on my own- doesn’t hurt just feels weird
• Walk on crutches without limping – am a master of the stairs 😀
• Shower and dress myself – always something with pockets. My lower legs don’t get dried unless John is around.
• Pick stuff off the floor with my crutches – though the special picker up thing works better.
• Get myself up into bed – though have to do some jiggery pokery to get my dodgy leg up

It’s probably best I didn’t know how painful it was going to be those first few days. I was reflecting on people who have a had a hip replacement saying you could stand straight away with no pain. Lying c#nts I say!!

Onwards and upwards.
