So its almost a week since my hospital appointment following the screws being taken out of my hip from the operation last year. My consultant is happy with the formation of the hip this time, and thankfully no more extra bone (painful!!) has formed on my hip. The only problem is that the registrar who took the screws out actually nicked a nerve, and so I can no longer feel part of my thigh (Needless to say, lots of bruises there from where I've knocked it now). He wants to therefore keep an eye on that. Also, my muscle might be too short now that the hip is formed properly and so he wants to keep an eye on that and possibly lengthen it if it starts causing me any problems.
I'm feeling positive and negative about last week, positive because it means we are finally getting there with my hip formation, but negative because theres still a hell of a lot of pain in my leg, which i'm not sure he'll deal with because he is a hip specialist... and because he's the first surgeon who I have 100% trusted, and I would hate to think he discharged me.
I also have had no physio since my last op, which is concerning as the muscles are week and are starting to tighten up, and I'm starting to trip and fall more. I'm wondering whether I should go to the dr and ask to be transferred to get a new splint, or whether to leave it for a little while and then mention it to my surgeon who is fully aware of my hemi problems.
After this appointment, it means I can (finally!) go back to work, so am due to go back on the 2nd July. I really can't wait as I need my mind to be challenged, and I'm looking forward to having my normal wage back instead of being on statituary sick pay.
Looking forward to the future and will keep you all updated :)
