I had physio this afternoon and imagine my surprise when I walked in and my leg was ready. It was a good job I hadn’t worn a different trainer as I had originally planed as there was quite a difference in the sole depth of the two. The foam bit wasn’t quite as I had [...]

Last night it took me ages to get to sleep, not because of my stump but because I had set me alarm. For some reason I never sleep very well if I haven’t had to set the alarm for a while as I think I am worried about it not waking me up. Apart from [...]

Today it was off to Addenbrooke’s Hospital, Cambridge for my first session of physiotherapy. As I mentioned in yesterday’s post I was a bit apprehensive but keen to get on and start the rehabilitation process.

I was told to reduce the Tramadol back to what I had been taking before my fall, which I did. I was really looking forward to going to bed and getting a good nights sleep. The bed felt lovely, the cool soft sheets, cosy duvet and plump pillow, I melted into bed. Unfortunately I didn’t [...]
