You found the bandages inside the pen, and the stitches on the radio

[venta]

Today (day 156 in the ongoing knee saga) I went back to the hospital to have my stitches out. They are now out, and that (plus absence of dressings) makes it rather easier to bend my leg. The consultant reports that everything seems to be healing well and exactly to plan.

Which is good news. But nowhere near as good news as the following:

1. I can stop wearing the anti-DVT stockings. If anyone ever suggests you wear very thick, ultra-tight, full-length elastic stockings in a July heatwave, try to be in a position to say "no" without risking horrible clotty death.

2. I can get my leg wet, which means baths are permissible again.

Yay.

I'm so glad for you! Welcome back to clean, cool legs that bend where they should bend.

Thank you!

Of course, one doesn't bend very far/very well yet, but I can work on that :)
