It’s 6 weeks since my accident just stepping badly down a stair .my tpf hospitalised me for 8 days was out of hospital in a brace two days after op with very little information ,wish I knew about this forum would have been a great help .I am 58years old and making good progress I made sure that I was going to approach this situation with a positive attitude and so far so good .Innthe first few weeks I relied in a walking frame but can now get up and down stairs unaided with crutches .I set myself small tasks every day and like a young child delighted in my achievments . I can now walk around a department store on my crutches with strangers asking me about my situation and congratulating me on my progress .Today I had my first shower not using a chair and was able to walk a few steps unaided ,but being very careful not to overdo things .I am hoping the brace will be off on Friday a reason to celebrate .The surgeon spent four hours on my knee now it’s up to me to me to continue the good work.My advice to any ladies in a similar position get your makeup on ,get out and enjoy the attention it certainly is helping my recovery !
