My legs are straightening again, after being in the bent position for over six weeks. I am having only a few muscle cramps now, and I'm feeling much happier.
Those cramps were nasty and they made me cry, a lot!
I'm getting back to my cheeky self... hehe
Mum's giving me a daily oil massage, and my sister even joined her the other day. She's pretty good at giving a massage, too. I might have to get her to give me lots of massages!
I'm almost ready to start getting back in to my standing frame. I won't be able to tolerate standing in the frame for very long, at first, and it will be a gradual process to build up my muscle strength.
I'm a determined kid, though!
I will have to learn to roll over, again, but I'm slowly finding my way across the floor, again. A couple of times, I have made it off the mat.
I'm doing much better with my eating, though I'm still pretty reluctant to drink.
I need to drink more.
The surgeon said my femur has healed well, which is good news. My scar along my leg is still red, and looks pretty sore, but it feels ok, now.
Mum has developed a case of the shingles.
The doctor said it was brought on by stress and exhaustion, so we are going to have to make sure she gets some rest. I'll give her lots of sloppy kisses, and try to make my sisters use their inside voices!
