Hip Arthroscopy Recovery 2 Weeks 2 Days

These blog post titles just get stupider and stupider lol

I made it to Auckland in one piece   In the end I decided to take both crutches on the plane which was lucky because I really needed them to get to the car when I landed in Auckland.  I had no trouble with security, just put them through the x-ray and hobbled through the metal detector and everyone was nice.  I haven’t had a lot of pain, just a slight groin pinch feeling and have been quite stiff.

I have taken over Mum’s laz-e-boy which is super comfy and have to remind everyone that I don’t need to be waited on hand and foot!  It is nice to have a change of scenery though and new shops/malls to explore.  We spent 2 hours at Sylvia Park mall today which has resulted in blisters on the heel of my hands but I got some much needed Christmas shopping done and had a yummy lunch!

Weather is warm, I have my own room with brand new bed and snuggly pillows and had a fantastic sleep last night.  Was my 2nd night with my new bite splint ($600 piece of moulded acryllic for TMJ treatment) and it went better than the first night.  It’s quite tight so is hurting my front teeth a bit, but hopefully that will settle with time.  It totally stops me from being able to grind my teeth so I hope it does the trick and stops my jaw from clunking permanently, though this will take a while.
