* Staples come out 15 days after surgery, around the 8th/9th April but this will be at the discretion of my surgeon in England, whoever that may be
* I cannot put any weight on my leg for 2 months
* I must wear leg brace for 3 MONTHS!! How am I going to wear a suit with that thing?
* I can try bending my knee right now but only until it hurts. Which at the moment, is as soon as I try. It seems to crack the minute I start to bend, that causes quite a bit of pain when I straighten again. I will keep trying though. Eye of the tiger and all that bollocks!
But the worst part... and this is by far the worst part. I can't drive my beautiful car for 3 months!!!!!
11:00am - lunch time. Thought I'd share it with you today. Starter was this disgusting, smelly, inedible fish.
Main course was beef and veg but the beef was disgusting. I mean dry, too salty and tasteless (apart from the salt). I'm not usually a fussy eater but come on! (ate all the veg though)
I also caught a glimpse of the back of my leg in the mirror this morning. I had no idea the bruising was so bad.
My Dad has managed to find a consultant to take over my case on my return to the UK. He's very local, Nuffield hospital in Derby. Hopefully the surgeon, Dr. Zouaoui will file a complete report. Apparently there was no further damage to my knee other than the fracture.
James and I also met a Dutch girl called Ilaan who had a similar injury to me but her surgery was slightly more complex and was completed in the morning before mine.
I should get my CT scan results either today or tomorrow and will definitely post them on the Bleg.
