The year so far - 2012

Well the beginning of the year started well. February came around and I had my knee replacement done on the 22nd. Five days in hospital at Mount Druitt. Treated very well by all staff. Home to two weeks of nurses, dressings, blood pressures etc. Two trips to hospital for heart palpitations. Sent home with heart regulator tablets and combination of minerals to take. Severe blisters on wound. Lots of pins and needles and numbness. It seems like a year ago and yet it is only 14 weeks. At the moment the scar is mending nicely. My leg is very dry and needs some sorbolene cream. My head went numb and there is no reason for it to have done so. I became very depressed and am now on medication and visits to a pyschologist. I am feeling a lot better but still have a long way to go. I do not have a lot of pain in my leg just a little discomfort now and then. I have not been able to bend my knee as much as I would like but I am still doing the exercises and will continue until it is a lot better.
