Monday 5th April - Strength is Back!

It took the whole weekend but finally I have my strength back.  It's amazing what 3 days without a good meal and any sleep can do to a person.  I found myself out of breath limping to the toilet!  However, with each passing day and each passing meal I found myself stronger.  Now, I'm fully able to cope on my own in my flat.

My Dad bought me a seat to mount in the bath so I can wash easily and I have my armchair setup in the firing line of the TV with laptop and table full of fruit and various goodies to one side... I'm ready for the next 2 months!

I'm on over-the-counter pain medication (Nurofen plus) every 4 to 6 hours.  When I'm seated with my leg horizontal there is little to no pain but when I stand up and all the blood rushes down my leg the pain can become quite severe.  The pain meds help with this.  I have found that this pain becomes less every day.
