I am still looking around 9mths pregnant from the swollen belly and my leg is just huge. Worse of all it's still numb and wont cooperate in the slightest. I have to physically lift the leg with my hands to get it onto the sofa and bed. Crutches are a pain the the backside, but least I am used to it.
NHS was outstanding as usual, and hugely supportive and caring. I could not manage without them, and I truly appreciate them and all that they do. I was meant to stay in Hospital for 4/5 Nights but I was discharged after 2 Nights, I was much better than I thought possible after the first experience with TPO, perhaps because I was better prepared and understood more about how I would feel, and how much or how little I would be able to do. First time is always the worst as you have no reference to these things.
Resting up as best as I can, bruising is coming out as you can see here
Stupid Anti Coagulant Injections are back for 4 weeks again.
This is my recovery attire, Tartan Pjs, Spotty Dressing Gown and of course Gingerbread Man socks to help hide the Compression Stockings
This was my Hospital Ward and they were amazing!
