....that's it really.
Sigh....fell down the stairs 3 weeks ago breaking my tib and fib, and was in hossy for 10 days before they could operate, as the swelling wouldn't go down.
I had the surgery, and was told it was more complex than he thought, I now have a huge plate on the inside of my leg, and a smaller one on the outside.
I'm currently in a temporary cast, having to tighten the bandages daily as the swelling goes down.
It's so uncomfortable :( and I'm not sleeping properly as a result. I've also developed a chest infection, which is taking its time to go, as I'm asthmatic.
I'm on tramadol, which is great, and antibiotics for the chest infection.
What I'd like to know is, how long did your recovery take?
Do you still have problems?
Any tips on how to make it more comfortable for me?
Come share your experiences with me, however gory, as I'm not screamish either.
