Yep... Not a pretty sight, Kitz....

But hey, it's over now, thank God... Onward and upward.... Can easily stroll around the house on one crutch now... Only do it occasionally, if I want to take Mum a cup of tea for example... I've got FAR better control over pain now, and I'm feeling very confident today.... Starting to get interested in food again, so it's all looking positive... Staples come out on Wed. God willing..... I suppose I'm luckier than most in that I live in a bungalow, and don't have stairs to negotiate...

Still very tired, and drained, but even that's getting better....

Be good, All.... Kitz, you just try... It's all I can expect of you!.....

God bless...

I bet you are happy not to have the staples stretching the skin.  I enjoyed my first total shower this morning.

Hi Karol...

Yes, working on getting the muscles in order, but I'm having no problems, thank God...

I'm strolling around the house on a walking cane, and taking a few dozen steps without any support... I'm very pleased!... No complaints!...

I've a visit scheduled from the Community Physio on Monday, so if there are any problems, I hope that visit will flag them up...

As far as I know now, it's all good!... Have to see the surgeon on Jan 5th for a check-up....

Love to all...

Darth...

I am glad to hear you are doing well.  Showers are a good thing:)   Is physical therapy standard after a transplant or did you have other issues going into the transplant?
