Physio took me for a short walk this morning and then wheeled me round to the back staircase. Very wobbly to start with but made it up half a flight before having a bit of a rest (all staircases should have a chair half way up from now on!) and then made my way down again. Physio seemed to think I was doing ok. I took the opportunity to stop at the washrooms on the way back so I could get a decent wash rather than a bed bath.
Pain has been fairly steady today – no bad flare-ups, but I didn’t consider reducing the pain relief at any time. More pain in my right shoulder than I’ve had before. Itching has been better today but hopefully having a piriton again will keep it manageable over night.
If I can do the stairs better tomorrow it is likely I’ll be discharged.
