Saw the registrar of O'Hara's today for my 6 week check up, and after having x-rays today and they compared them to the day i left hospital they've not seen much change. So i have to go back again i 6 weeks for another set of x-rays. So i still have to use the 2 crutches for the time being, but i sort of expected that to be honest. And 6 weeks is nothing in bone healing time. My worse news is that i've got a DVT in the left operated leg from groin to calf, so injection was given today after umming and arrrhhing about whether i should be admitted over Christmas or not. I got out of it by the skin of my teeth, and had one injection tonight with the promise i will see the Anti-coagulent clinic first thing in the morning. I probably will have to have injections everyday for a few months now. Not sure what it means for Hydrotherapy and Physiotherapy but i will ask when i go tomorrow. All in all we spent 7 hours at the hospital with 4 kids and we were starving, set off at 9.30am and finally got home and had tea at 8.00pm!! Long day and i'm sure we will sleep well tonight.

Been thinking about you all day Debbie, really hope you have been allowed to stay at home, but if not, that any time in hospital is minimal and bearable. Sending lots of hugs xxx
