New Wheels

30 Jan

No….it’s not a new car, I am under strict orders to keep off my feet.

Not only do I have Avascular Necrosis of both hips, my left one is BROKEN!  I’ve been walking (awkwardly shuffling) around on a broken hip and am lucky the other hasn’t also disintegrated.
   

I didn’t get to go home from hospital yesterday and will most likely be in for a while as I need hip replacement.  The Orthapaedic team is due to visit today. 

Please enjoy Dr Kennedy’s doodles;

   
 
I’m gladly accepting some heavy duty pain relief (well I know what’s causing the excruciating pain now!), have a few stitches in my right arm after having a spot removed by the Dermatology team during checks, have a cannula in (as I no longer have a central line) and have a very sore back/butt/hip on the right, where the Bone Marrow Biopsy was performed yesterday.  Body is a bit of a wreck.

In the meantime, I’m very pleased to say I’m back in the familiar surrounds of 5C, with so many of the special nurses that looked after me during transplant.  We shared chocolates yesterday as we marked my 1st birthday, or ‘cell-iversary’ together.

What a wild ride!
