Much worse...
I've just spent 6 hours in A & E. I felt so rotten today, breathless, heart racing, exhaustion, i couldn't take it anymore. Basically i am being treated for DVT. Which is shit. I am having to inject myself everyday for the next...who knows? AND (AND SARAH O O IF YOU ARE READING THIS)...They took blood from my fucking wrist!!!!!! WTF? SOOOO PAINFUL. :(
Fingers crossed..
I felt a whole lot better today. So much so, i managed to get dressed, albeit a VERY bad decision. Let me give you some advice. DO NOT attempt to put on SKINNY shorts just after having knee arthroscopy, DOES NOT WORK! I feel i will be wearing this outfit for the foreseeable future! Cannot get them off now ... lol
Bandage off..
UGH! Red, swollen, sore... Still can't put my knee to the floor when lying down, can't bend it... This is shite.
Day 2, post surgery.
Today I feel like I have the worlds worst hangover. I am shakey, tired and feel really unwell. I managed to pass out last night which was a treat. My boyfriend has been caring for me since Friday, and I'm thinking I am becoming nothing short of a pain in the arse. I'm staying at his tonight because there's a downstairs loo, a bonus!
Thumbs down!
It would appear that little me has overdone it slightly. After getting home yesterday just after 5pm i preceded to behave like i'd just been to the hairdressers, rather than having an operation. I was walking, albeit slowly around the house, i was washing up, helping my boyfriend cook dinner....normal stuff. Bedtime, i slept like shit. I could feel the stitches pulling which isn't a good feeling. I reckon i might have had 2 hours, if that. This morning, i went off to my mothers jewellers with her, and then back into town, where i walked A LOT on my crutches, but it hurt. I did grocery shopping too. Came home and i felt awful. Headache, nausea...and pain. I've just woken from a 45 minute sleep, feeling better than i did before, but my knee is really beginning to pain me, saying that, i've had ONE paracetamol this entire time, so i'm not doing too bad. Going to hit the hard drugs in a bit...
One last thing..
Lets just put into perspective ALL what i have achieved in the last couple of weeks. Pretty fantastic i'd say.. :)
