Five Weeks Post OP = So Far So Good

So whats Happening now, Not much to be honest on the large scale, But small differences are happening. And for anyone on a hippie journey (well any disability journey) you have to Celebrate the Small Victories.

Scars are clear and healing well

This is the Larger of the Two, around 6-7 Inches and it's the Pelvic Scar.

I have pimped out my crutches thanks to accidentalvix who made me some gorgeous Crutch Handle Covers to protect my hands and soften the Vibrations that pound through the arms and wrists. After a short time of using crutches, you end up with sore Shoulders, Aching Wrists and Blisters on your Hands. You can find your own Covers here, Mine are 2 Years old and still going strong from almost constant wear. She also sells other beautiful things as well as drawing too. See the whole accidentalvix shop

Anyways here is my own Covers for my Crutches 


Doing my Physio Daily and Here are my Workout Sheets at the mo.



Some Muscles still not working by themselves yet, I still bathe out of the sink, or use a Bath Board. I can't do socks without pain and discomfort. Nor can I sit on hard things for long. Painkillers have been my biggest bugbear this time round, never knowing what to do for the best? Suffer the Co-Codamol induced Headaches or suffer the Insomnia from Tramadol? Both have Pro's and Cons and Both give nasty side effects, so think this will be a trial for both Tablets and see if I can find a happy medium.
