Update.........

Well, I guess that in fact there is little to update!?!?! I am still in a substantial amount of pain and am now suffering with side effects from the drugs - nausea in the main...... Muscle spasms??? Seem to be making the pain worse and at night the only way I have been able to sleep is on my left side with pillows propping me up and supporting my spine but now I am unable to do this anymore due to cramping pains through my thigh (I guess due to the compression?) As I can only "perch" on a VERY soft surface whilst leaning forwards, sleeping in a chair is not an option and I am becoming increasingly fatigued from the constant pressure of struggling around in an upright position. The bruises have now started to fade in colour though the same cannot be said for their discomfort. I think I may have to return to the Specialist tomorrow though think all that he can do is up the drugs...........pain management seems to be the only option with this type of injury as its too deepset to fix through surgery. All in all it would seem I have posted yet another of my whining updates..........SORRY and if you got this far without falling asleep - thankyou for reading so patiently! x
