Treatment

I was seen at Stafford Hospital for the follow on treatment and after a shaky start i recieved good care. I've been put onto the injections which Rich has decided to do for me, so i can squeeze the flab at the same time (avoids bruising and pain too). He's so gentle and a perfectionist so he's definitely the right choice, plus i get too say i have a sexy nurse looking after me! Lol
After a week of these injections i've noticed that the swelling has gone down loads which is ace, and i have an ankle again. Also i've noticed that sometimes you have blunt injections and some nice sharp ones, and the side i have the injections on matter too. You have to alternate each day with sides but the side i have been operated on, is my worse side ever!!!! it really hurts and i always seem to bruise or bleed a bit that side. but to be fair it's still quiet swollen and tender to the touch so injections there would hurt!!
Enjoying the festive period and i've done loads of relaxing considering it's Christmas, only been out once for a social visit the first in 7 weeks. I finally went to my parents for a meal, but they live in a bungalow so i wasn't worried. Afterwards though i went to Rich's mums house which is a house and i had to do STAIRS!! (only did stairs once on day three or four after surgery so i'm not used to them) But i managed to conquer them and i'm pleased i did. But i was exhausted after a few trips up and down (down being my worse, as i still can't put any weight on that foot/leg). Hope the bone grows soon, it's a bit worrying to be honest, i should try to remain positive.

Hang in there. You've had TWO major surgeries done at the same time. The body's ability to heal is amazing - and it can't be rushed.

Even a month from now you'll look back and marvel at your progress.
