UPDATE 6 Thursday 19TH On Wednesday the operation started at 14.15 and was completed just before 16.00 . They brought me back to the ward around 18.00 and apparently I asked Wendy's friend that had come along to sit with her if Wendy was ok and the second thing was to get Wendy logged into here and make the post for me. I slept till around 2 am and basically just laid awake from then on. At about, 4 am I got that most vital thing i needed - a Coffee, black , 2 sugars. at 10.30 am the physio arrived and assisted me in getting out of bed and into a chair I then had to practice this simple move of getting in an getting out of bed a couple, times After lunch, in fact some time after lunch (around 15.15 i got out of bed and into a chair totally on my own Its now midnight and I have been awake all day so hopefully I will sleep well when i go to sleep? The gory details for those interested are the surgeon made the cut about 4 inches (10 or 12 cm) above the left knee and the operation went very smoothly once they managed to get me to sleep.
