Well another milestone. I have been signed off to go back to work on a phased return. It has been agreed that i will do part time, i had thought for one week but the doc said for two weeks at least. It is definitely a move back towards normality though.
It is still very difficult to get either leg comfortable at night and there are times when the pain seems to be getting worse not less. I wish i knew if this is because i am not doing enough exercise, or the right sort of exercises, because i am eating too much chocolate - yes there is definitely a chance that is the problem, my sweet tooth has certainly increased since the op, or because there is something else wrong. I see the doc in October so i will try and remember to talk it all through with him.
I still cannot get upstairs but this morning i managed to almost do six each of the exercises physio have given me to ensure i can get up and down soon. A real improvement.
Not sure when i will manage to get the other leg done but it has to be next year because work is not going to be happy if i take time off too quickly. My plan at the moment is to look at having the veins done late next year and the knee the following spring or summer if that can be arranged,
