Day 11 Recovery

Sunday Day 11

After a good night’s sleep I woke up with the usual mild sciatic pain in my right leg. The pillow trick didn’t work but I’ll persevere and try it again tonight. The pain eventually went away throughout the day and the only discomfort I’ve had has been the dull ache in my buttocks and the incessant itching of the area around my wound. I had my wound redressed by my wife today and noticed some redness around it. I’m not sure if this is normal but I have an appointment with the doctor tomorrow so will get everything checked out then. I’ve included a picture. I walked briefly again today without any problems and am hoping that Dr Eakpatipan will allow me to do a bit more in the next few weeks. Tomorrow is my first visit back to the hospital since I was discharged and I am looking forward to finding out when my staples can come out and if everything is going to plan.
