7 weeks down the track in the recovery journey and this week feels like a step change down in the levels of pain. I am still on painkillers but now moving to just cocodemol before bed and just paracetamol during the day. The levels of pain have dropped. It feels more like I have a bruise after a fall on my backside now.
That said, still not comfortable sitting. I can manage 10-15 minutes but then feel a twinge. Will need quite a few more weeks (and a raised desk) before I can be 100% back to normal I think.
As much of that is in the mind. The thought of pain and the ache as I sit for over 5 minutes. That will subside.
Driving feels 4-5 weeks away. Might make an exception to test drive a new Audi Q6!
Other ailments now largely done. The hips and knees at night are much better. sleeping all good.
Got a check with the nurse next Wednesday. With the all clear can start to move to the next stage of recovery. That can include physio after I see him again next week. Plenty happening!😀
