The first couple days after my op was an utter blur. Lots of medication and continuous spasm’s leading to an a lot of pain. On the Wednesday was when I saw the physio for the first time and I got started on the CPM machine. This machine was extremely helpful to getting me better, as it just flex and extended my leg at any degrees and speed I liked. After a week I was at a 90 degree flexion and 0 degree extension which they where quite impressed with. After 10 days I was allowed to go home from the hospital with the surgery and x-rays all looking good. I started my lengthening on the 1st of July so am in the early stages of it. I have to do this 4 times a day with it spaced out well. It can become a bit annoying at times as it’s not something I can just do quickly but is again the whole point of the procedure so is very important. The machine certainly isn’t small as it’s carried around in a big case, which again for travelling ain’t ideal but I can’t see me leaving the house much. I’m already extremely bored and not really sure what to do with myself most of the time. Although I have managed to get myself a mobility scooter which is quite handy and gets me out the house. My next appointment is on the 15th of July so will try and get some x-ray pics and further updates but for now here’s some pics of the scars and the leg itself. 






This is it today…2 weeks post op! As you can see it’s got some fair bruising on it, but the swelling has dropped massively. I also got to take all my plasters off before my shower(first one in a while) and having the stitches removed tomorrow morning!
Until next time, churs churs
