Getting back to normal was harder than I had imagined. Little things like getting out of bed were extremely difficult and very painful, then even lying in bed was painful too as my coccyx was getting so painful Henry had to call my doctor for additional pain relief. He was horrified to find that over a week after being discharged the LGI had not supplied our surgery with any notes at all! (And still had not a month after discharge despite several requests from my GP.) We tried to get some help from physiotherapists, but the hospital washed their hands of us saying no good - we were now discharged and the doctor said he still had not got any notes and was getting very frustrated at the lack of communication from the LGI.
However, my optimism kept me going and eventually being able to get my hair washed was so marvellous I could cry! We also attempted sitting outside in my wheelchair in the sun but this was very difficult as the chair supplied was too wide for the doors!!! Henry resorted to eBay and the Red Cross before we could sort this out.
Again, my marvellous friends kept me going. Liz Netto called and autographed the pot on my left hand! Anything to take your mind of the painfully obvious - I was confined to bed and wheelchair, could not walk or have a bath and had missed the chistening and cancelled my holiday. Many thanks you half asleep car driver.
