New knee!

As earlier posts have shown, I’ve been struggling with my left knee for the last 12 months. After three ‘infiltrations’ it was decided that the next step (😉) was a half-knee replacement. That brings us to 10th May 2023 with an early rise to be at the hospital for 7am.

Not sure if this is my just had an op outfit or a Strictly Come Dancing one!

Nicely Veeted around the knee zone, this is what I came round to!

Sexy look of my surgical stockings which I had to wear in the daytime for 31 days!

Back home and the healing process is in full throttle

I can even walk! (I now do without crutches around the house, and just one when out-and-about)

That's better, at home on my new lounger, rosé not far away

Star Wars or crutches at dawn? Cousin Jean had his hip replacement two weeks after my procedure.

Proof of my inner knee workings. Hopefully that's not the Soviet flag there!

I was so well looked after at the Clinique Saint Charles in La Roche sur Yon but was back home after only 36 hours which is a little bit fast in my opinion. However the team is only a phone call away and the support has been excellent. My surgeon saw me for a check-up the other day and was very happy with his work! It's going to be a long recovery though...
