Day 150: Throwback Thursday

So I finally got the pics my mum took off her phone so that I can post them here! Just a warning, they are pretty gory....

These are from Day 0, so the evening following surgery.I remember these being taken, but I thought they were from the day after surgery! I was then up for most of the night vomiting blood but thankfully I was still drugged from surgery and barely noticed. Mum had to deal with the brunt of it. She is a trooper!





Notice the drains are still in me. Gross. Here's one of the drain in my hip:
 



Dangggggg look at that profile! I almost cried when mum showed me this:


Day 1 - the day after surgery, there are ones of me writing (as I couldn't be understood at this point) and also of me feeding myself with a syringe:





Day 2:



This is from when they re-dressed my hip, I got mum to take a quick photo once the bandage was off:


Day 3: This was the day I came home from hospital:


Day 4 - Valentines Day! On the way to the surgeons office for my first post-surgery check-up:




Day 5 - The number hands thing didn't really catch on...





Day 6 - looking a lot happier:




And why not have another couple of comparison pictures while we're here??
