Four weeks after surgery and a much better week this week. Spent all of last weekend in bed resting up a strained thigh muscle but back on my feet by Monday.
Major milestones this week
- Now completely comfortable sleeping without my airboot on
- Walking around the house completely crutch free
- Through necessity climbed a number of staircases at work/social events and found it easier than I thought
Walking around the house with both hands free is a major improvement and I’m beginning to feel vaguely normal again.
I may have to get on a plane in a couple of weeks to attend a conference overseas, would be a 9 hour flight or so, Dr said it’s doable but I should be sure to take aspirin a week before and after - maybe compression socks as well.
I can see it would still be a challenge, even at some airports you have to walk miles these days between the plane and customs. I’ll make a decision next week but would appreciate any advice/experience others can share?
