A week on from my operation I am still having to use crutches, especially outside, I cannot drive and my knee aches like mad. I am seeing the physio tomorrow so maybe they can throw some light on when I am not better already
I know it is called being impatient. Apart from that I got to go Christmas shopping with my daughter today, a right pair we made, me on my crutches and her clutching bits of her stomach from her recent operation. We wandered slowly and sat down for a coffee half way through. Don't tell the boss, I told them I was working from home today - which I am, but not much between 9.00 am and 5.00 pm. I can remote access my computer at work, so have been updating files and filling in funding applications for the charity I work for. Suppose I had better get back to it.

It will all come with time. Don't be too impatient to get back to normal. You may do yourself more harm in the long run! I know it must be frustrating though!

I can imagine it is painful & frustrating not to be able to do what you would like. Patience, if you rest it as you should now it may heal better & faster. Take care & don't overdo.

Hi Mary, I hope your knee will heal fast. Glad to hear you managed to go shopping, just take it easy ~ we want you well for Christmas! Jeannette xx
Hi Mary! Give yourself time... I have a friend who had knee surgery, and it took her a couple of months to be walking again. She said the pain was bad for a couple of weeks. This is a stressful time even without surgery and recovery, so just be kind to yourself, as you would to anyone else you knew who was recovering. OFten we do get impatient because there is much to do, but your main job now, as I see it, is to recover. Don't over do it or there could be a major setback. Have a good week, and thanks for commenting in my journal. I am quite pleased with the way the cave man art gallery turned out, as well as the video I made. I don't mean that to sound boastful, but the kids did such fine work... they inspire me! Without them, I'm nothing but someone pretending to be a teacher! LOL, that's how it feels when the kids do more than I imagined from what I taught them. Have a good week. I hope your recovery moves along this week. bea
