After 5 long & arduous post-operative weeks, it's back to full-time work for moi & the new knee tomorrow. I'd like a couple more weeks of keeping the leg elevated & the brain in Happyland on the good analgesia, but it's not to be, so I'll just have to suck it up & hit the road in the morning. Things are progressing OK, there's still swelling & pain, but the Physio is happy with my progress & reckons I'm ahead of where I need to be, even though I don't feel it! I don't think the path to the office will be strewn with flowering bulbs to welcome me back, like this gorgeous image - all I'm concerned about is trying to manoeuvre the front steps up into the office with my trusty mate, Wally the Walking Stick in an half-pie elegant way. I reckon ballet flats will be the way to go on the tootsies for a while, but I still have my eyes firmly fixed on those impossibly high heels that beckon me from afar.
Thank you so much again for the overwhelming number of emails & messages of concern/ encouragement, gifts, virtual love & hugs etc, as MOTH would say 'Youse are all a grouse bunch of Hedgies!'
So glad everything's on track Millie...even though you may not think it is.
ReplyDeleteGood on you for "sucking it up" and getting on with it! I'd be a complete mess, stay in bed and pull the covers over my head...after MONT had brought me a cup of tea of course.
Hang in there babe

ReplyDeletetake care, xxx Debra
Best of luck with the return to work Millie. I'm sure it will be good to be back out in the big wide world again, even if it is for work. Hope all continues to improve smoothly with the knee, and I'm sure a very high pair of Louboutins are waiting for you in David Jones to celebrate your return to heels. xx
ReplyDeleteDear Millie,
ReplyDeleteI am enjoying your blog and I hope your knee continues to improve. Is that photograph from the Keukenhof gardens in the Netherlands? Having visited a few times that image looks somewhat familiar...
Bye for now

Hi Mill's,
ReplyDeleteSo pleased that all is going well....ish on the knee front. I know quite a few people who have had this done and, as you probably know more than me, it does take a while to get back to normal.
Thanks so much for your birthday wishes last month ...... I did thank you on Facebook ( I think !!) ...... I'm not really a regular on Facebook so I might not have done it right !!
Wishing you well on your first day back at work and, just be careful on that new knee. Lots of love. XXXX
Glad to hear you are on the mend Millie!!
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Ry
Have a wonderful day back to work. Just put a little bling on your walking stick! :)
ReplyDeleteSo happy to hear you are making progress Millie...good luck with your first day back. My feet and knees hurt just at the thought of you trying to stay atop those high heels..enjoy the ballet flats. One step at a time Millie and be sure to rest as you go!!

Nothing holds you down, Millie, does it? You really are quite an inspiration - you just get on with it, with that fabulous sense of humour. Hope this is going as well as it can - slow, easy steps back into trotting around. x
