Beginning of week 7 post op.
Things I can now do:
Drive – I’ve started to drive to my appointments and to the shops, which has been fine. It’s slightly uncomfortable but not painful, I think the coccyx cushion helps here.
Sit on a sofa – I can now sit on the more upright of the two sofas in my house, in reasonable comfort, this is good for TV watching which previously had to be done standing up or lying down neither of which are optimum television watching postures.
Get drunk and make a fool of myself – to be fair, I was capable of this before now but rather like Luke Skywalker refusing to fight his father in the Return of the Jedi, I had previously used my powers of inner strength in my resolve to be healthy. However my local wine merchant was having a tasting at the weekend and I persuaded my neighbours to come along with me. They also own a copy of Singstar for the PS3. On Sunday not only did I have a hangover, I also had no voice.
Anyway, my wound has continued to fill in and is quite shallow now apparently. However it seems that there is a part near the bottom which isn’t easy to see that has bridged over leaving a small hole which isn’t ideal. This will have to be monitored, as it may present a problem. There seems to have been more discharge in the last few days, though this is likely to be because I’ve been more active. The general picture still seems to be positive.
