Lost the will to post in hospital!! They were so much better than last time I was there (cos I could talk to them this time! Always goes down well if an English can have a conversation in French) but they are soooo busy (many helicopters arriving, couldn't see ambulances but would have been lots) and so if you dont shout a lot you tend to get forgotten a bit. Along with them telling me they didn't have any wheelchairs I could use to get to the loo so I had to use a big armchair thing that had wheels but was a challenge and no leg support for the broken one so each trip caused a new round of pain
(course, they found a wheel chair for the last neighbour i had
)
Anyway - yesterday I was transferred to a rehab centre. I have a room with a view, a wheelchair with a leg support, an easily accessible shower room and the food appears to be way better (if lunch today is anything to go by!)
Yesterday was a bit tiring and this morning was a dressing change - somewhat intense and painful due to the blisters
So I just didn't have the energy to go get lunch (whilst I love the wheelchair and it's kinder to my spazzy arm than crutches, it still isn't nice, so need to build up the distance!) - I said it was ok, I have fruit and snacks but they said no, we'll bring it to you
After lunch I had my first physio session. So for the last time I did the break, albeit MUCH simpler, I was in resort for 9 weeks so saw the phsyio three times a week. Being in the centre I expected a couple of physio sessions each weekday day and maybe some occupational therapy. Nope -
2 sessions of physio
Plus one or two 30 mins sessions on a machine that moves my leg to encourage the flexion
plus exercises in my room
haven't got to occ therapy yet!!
AND apparently I can't stop for two days so I get physio on Saturday mornings as well!!!
I think I may just sleep on Sundays!!
In spoilers cos it's still not nice!!
Actual scar is looking good but the blister sites are yucky (to me) - healing fine but a challenge when the dressing is on, especially as I now have a compression bandage from my toes to mid calf. Can't move my foot back towards me due to the bruising in the back of my calf
The compression is because my broken leg is massively swollen compared to the other. I mean, I never had skinny thighs, but my calves and ankles were quite neat
not anymore on the left side LOL
And the colours are impressive - considering I broke my knee only and had ski boots on the didn't seem to cause any pain during hte crash, my leg is anything from yellow - green - purple from ankle to mid thigh
You'll soon be up and running in no time. Good luck with it all.
) and translated it to see what they actually did/found - kinda scary, absolutely a proper job!
