I can not believe it has been 3 months now since i had my operation. I have hardly used the wheel chair this month at all. I am now pretty free to move around the house unaided too. All this has made a big difference to being able to look after Molly.
I am still taking all the tramadol. I know I am dependent on it and can tell if I am only a few hours late missing a dose, not just because of the pain levels but I also start to feel agitated and emotional. I am amazed at my dependency on the drug (and a little scared). Hopefully I will be able to talk to my new doctor about this soon and work out a plan to come off the tramadol without experiencing the withdrawal. I am also still on warfarin to prevents any clots. Although there is not really much of an issue being on warfarin apart from staying away from sharp knifes and having to have weekly blood tests it would be nice to not be taking drugs continually.
I have met with a few old friends this month too. People I have not seen since before the operation but who also knew me before I had Molly. They all think I am not only looking more like my old self but acting like her too. I am glad I look better I only hope its a good thing I am acting differently too!
Tomorrow is a big day. We are back at the hospital again for more x rays and a review from the surgeon. I am hoping tomorrow I will be given the all clear to start physiotherapy. I think this will be another big step in the recovery as this will help me use the muscles correctly now that the pelvis physically can no longer move.
Think good thoughts for me please and pray if you do
