Post surgery update
14 weeks post op.
I saw my surgeon yesterday for the second time since my op. With another set of X-rays. Heโs really pleased with progress and has given me the go ahead to walk again!
And thatโs not as easy as you think, mentally and physically. You canโt just walk ๐คฃ
But Iโll get there. Baby steps, literally. I knew this recovery would take time. It will take years for my leg muscle to be back to how it was.
I wasnโt going to mention this but I feel like itโs important for awareness.
I was on some very strong pain relief at the beginning and unfortunately I wasnโt told about weaning off medication.
At one point I was taking a higher dosage than what I should and I didnโt realise. So I then just stopped. Which I shouldnโt have done. Within just 48 hours I became very poorly for about a week then realising my body was going through withdrawal. It was horrendous to experience. Thankfully Iโm now fine and weaned off all medication with no issues at all.
Itโs so important people are told how to come off this type of medication safely because it can cause serious consequences and potential drug addictions.
Hereโs to walking, starting to drive again and getting back to work ๐๐ผ
I will update you again in a few weeks with hopefully a return to work date. Still hoping for the beginning of March. But this will be a fazed return.
