Haven't written in a little while so figured I'd write a little update this evening, before the football starts of course.
My recovery is going really well, in fact, probably a bit better than I thought it would this soon. It's hard to think that the operation was less than 3 weeks ago, but it seems like a lot longer now. Mind you, I did find one staple in the back of my head earlier today, which was nice. I did wonder if I should have a go at removing it myself, but then thought better of it.
My various bruises are almost gone completely from my hands and arms, but it'll be a while longer before my barnett grows back properly! The hair has started to grow back a bit, but at the moment it kinda just looks like I've a HUGE side parting!
The only real problems I'm having at the minute is not sleeping and eating too much!! Apparently it's expected with the medication, but at this rate I'm going to be a real porker come the new year!! I've a review appointment in mid December, so hopefully I'll come off the stuff that makes me so hungry all the time. Christmas is really NOT the time to be on stuff like that!!
Other than that though, I'm in really good spirits, enjoying spending time with the family and generally looking forward to a full recovery and getting on with my life again. I've started trying to get out and do around 30 minutes of walking a day for the last few days, and that's going well too. Although, must admit, the first couple of times did take it out of me a bit.
Thanks again to everyone who's been sending through their best wishes, I've really appreciated it. So until the next enrty, take it easy, Dave
