DRESSING CLINIC 19TH MAY (GRAPHIC PHOTOS)

Good morning Peter, although you probably won't read this until this evening after work!  Yes you answered your own concerns, full throttle on a body that's been in a car crash will take longer and, yes that's why you are in pain.  Pain tells us something is wrong - so rest!  Easier said than done when the billls have to be paid I know but at least you know that's why your body is kicking back at you.  Try and rest the weekend as much as poss with the leg elevated - are you allowed to let the air get to  your wound yet?  Ask the nurses, as if you can put your leg up without dressing for an hour or two it might be a good thing - as long as its not down the pub - its in your own domain.  Take care, you will get there in the end Peter.  God bless

pain may also mean nerves in the peiphiral area are returning. Have a good weekend    .Fran
