"...she's getting better and better". Now getting into bed unaided safely. With slightly better trunk mobility, she can now reach to lift her legs up (wearing PJ's helps - no legs on a nightie!).
Day 13 post-op: The physios want her to stop using the walking frame and try two sticks tomorrow, so I took hers in, 'cos the hospital didn't have any short enough - but hers will now need lengthening! Looks like two new sticks to be bought.
She made it up to the Day Room today, and is walking back and fore more easily. The thing that's annoying her most now is the nerve pain in her legs, which has spread to both legs and right round her waist. It makes the areas hyper-sensitive to touch. The surgeon reckons that even once they get the pain meds up to full strength, it may be a long time before it fades enough for her to reduce them again - possibly a year! But that's a small price for long-term stability.
More tomorrow.
