Sorry that I missed a few days out. I'm somewhat depressed as I'm not doing as well as I think I should be. The pain at rest is tolerable, but as soon as I put weight on my right leg, it hurts enormously, and I can't walk for more than a few steps and I have to sit because of the pain.
I have a plan! 1) I'm going to take my paint-killing medication before exercise. Oral morphine and a morphine patch, and 2) I've asked to see my consultant about whether this could be part of another problem.
As I write this, at 10:10, I've completed i.e.: Received pain killing medication. Went to gym for walking and bending exercises et al.
Back on ward at 11.25.

16:40 Had a good exercise session this morning. Did around 20 metres and 30 exercises. I (and I think my OT's) are quite pleased with today's progress.
Patrick came to see me, which was good.
Tried to watch 'Queer as Folk', but it keeps breaking-up. Going to try again now.
