As usual C went off to the market about 8 taking the dog who is a great success. The butcher have her a lamb bone… yum said dog.
Meanwhile.. I did my exercises in bed.. i have to lie prone , putting my hands under my leg just above my knee i pull the operated knee as close as I can to my chest, count to 6 relax and repeat. I realise how far I have to go when I grab the other knee and whiz bang the knee is against my chest.. the operated knee comes no where near to my chest.
Then sitting up you flex your foot, straighten the knee, pressing it into the mattress and then slide your heel further down.. These you repeat and repeat.. .
Then sitting at the side of bed or on a chair, you lift your leg straight out holding it for count of 10and then with your good leg you make you op leg push down. ETC
Anyhow after that a shower and a good dose of the cicatriyl.
The great excitement was the decorating of the tree, everything in orderly boxes.. by cable ties I brought with me wee brought into service.. and then the tree looks friendly and colourful. Then all the presents to date which have been stored in my bedroom cupboard are now under the tree.. The next 17 days are going to be very long.
Then I have nearly 45 minutes of walking and lifting type exercises.. so all this i am supposed to repeat so that they are done twice a day,
There is music, xmas carols , and one feels quite festive.
