I am up and about after my op

Update

It’s been a week since my op last week. I must say that I did struggle to sleep for the first few nights. But things got better with time. The problem was that one does not know which way to position the affected leg, and one has to change body position every now and then.

I do my walking every day, as well as the prescribed exercises.
The only things that I am not allowed are:
• Driving
• Stairs
• Unequal surfaces in general

Walking is prescribed, since it helps to strengthen the muscles and tendons of the joint. Furthermore the joint is kept flexible as well.
I have an appointment with Dr Swart in 1 week’s time.

C u soon!
