Home

Getting home was great, getting comfortable was not . I had dreamed all week of getting to my own bed but in reality it wasn't so good.
I got my big V pillow out that I had used when pregnant and that did help slightly, because I was mainly lying on my back all the time I started to get these pains down the side of my legs, the best way for me to discribe it is as 'electric shocks' it would be agony! Especially in the middle of the night and as you can imagine with a huge wound having to sit up quickly was not very easy. I was still on 2 tramadol and 2 paracetamol.
Going up and down the stairs was quite hard too, mainly as I was pertrified I would fall as I am rather clumsy.
The only medical people I seen were the district nurses who took my staples out and came by every couple of days to run around my living room and go back out again - I know they are so busy and not their fault but it really was a 1 minute 30 second visit! Hope they got time off at Christmas!
