And the last thing I see is my heart. Still beating
on the radiologist's screen as I'm wheeled off to the the anesthnatist's room for pre-op.
The operation went well and I am healing well. I'm very sore with all the tubes and wires sticking in me but they have started taking them put now. I'm very tired all the time. I'm not allowed to use my arms because of the chance of opening the wound and the risk of infection. This makes life particularly difficult as I have needed to use elbow crutches since the arthritis set in. They stood me up and sat may in a chair today but it was very painful and needed three people to do it. Hopefully this will improve before they want to send me home.
I have plenty to entertain me when I am awake, I have my tablet (when I can get online) on which I have downloaded a variety of films and TV for when I can't. C has also lent me her old DS and I have a couple of games I can play.
D and C are due to visit tomorrow, I'm worried that they are going to wear themselves out but the lack of buses over the weekend will keep them at home and hopefully they will be able to get some rest.
My feet have been caused some confusion among the staff with some of them thinking that they are bruised or have a strange rash but most recognise the pattern of brown dots as "Oh you wear crocks".
Well I need to rest again. I'll try to post if there are any developments.
