There's a whole list of things I'm not allowed to do for 6 weeks, nearly all because of the risk of dislocation (if those of you fond of innuendo are wondering, yes, that's included). Then a few things for another 6 weeks, by which time it should be as strong as it will ever be.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-40243724423333858072010-01-25T21:39:06.546+00:002010-01-25T21:39:06.546+00:00I didn't have to sleep on my back.

I was not suppose to turn my toes outward, kick my operated leg out to the side, kick it behind, or cross my legs at the knees or ankles until my doctor gave me permission (which was about one week). I had to extend my operated leg to the front when I sat down. It was very important for a week or so to sit in chairs with arms to support myself getting up and down. <br /><br />I also did exercises. The first was to paddle my feet up and down, left one then right one, left one then right one, several times a day. <br /><br />When it was no longer necessary for me to use the oxygen, I had to blow into a contraption that measured how strong I was able to blow, at least every hour. I did it more often. I think you understand!<br /><br />Though I slept on my back the first day, it would have been difficult for me to sleep if I was only allowed to lay on my back. I think it was because of the difference in the surgical approaches.luckyzmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04176703683321469118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-49623696693719682032010-01-25T21:27:28.188+00:002010-01-25T21:27:28.188+00:00Righto, I think I can turn that into a compliment,...Righto, I think I can turn that into a compliment, Simon.
