OK, I've taken the splint off now since the feeling has come back into my leg. The hamstring area seems to feel a bit tight and the incision area at the front hurts a bit...but generally it's OK and I'm still only taking paracetamol and ibuprofen for the pain.
TGhe worst of it is my lower back which is causing all sorts of problems since I can;t seem to stretch it out properly. I laid down on a double piano stool yesterday (cos I'm living downstairs at the moment) and it hurt like mad getting down there and then back up again. Still, stretching it out a bit helped and I think I'll ust have to keep up this nominal exercise for the next few days before physio starts on Monday.
I'm moving around more now. Still anxious that I'll break the graft (or have already broken it!) but realistically, I haven't done anything to cause this to happen so should be OK.
Taking arnica now to for the bruising I can see coming out of the bandage. This all better be worth it.
