Ok, so where I have had the incision on my hip to get to the hip joint they have to cut the nerve that suppiles the outer skin of the thigh. Well it is completely numb however it is itching! The problem is when I scratch that area I can't feel it at all.......it is an unscratchable itch and believe me is quite annoying.
Had my first trip out today and it was so good if slightly chilly. Went to the cinema in my wheelchair to see Percy Jackson and the lightning thief which was really good but amused my husbnad about my complete lack of knowledge about greek mythology - how was I supposed to know Zeus was the King of the Gods, I am a doctor, I studied science at school not greek mythology.
Still can't quite get over how much better the hip feels compared to last time. last time I was still in hospital at this stage - admittedly about to go home - as long as I keep the pain killers on board regularly I am remarkably comfortable - must remember not to over do it though.
Bye for now
Sophie
