Wednesday 11th January 2017....

I think Matt was so mentally prepared for this operation, it's almost like he's foreseen - or made the choice - to be in a completely positive and accepting state of mind.  Although he's on the good pain drugs, he's not zoned out or being over indulgent in them, which blows my mind.  I reckon most of us would be thinking of being zonked out through this but he's so alert and into each stage and process, it's amazing.  He paces the drugs so it's total pain management and staying on top of that; he's touching his leg (or stump as they call it - we haven't adjusted to that word properly yet) and in good humour.  

Drain removed Tuesday Night; PCA removed Wednesday morning and physio followed!  Totally blown away that he started physio 48 hours after the Operation!!!  Meet Nicola his physio in the pics below with Matt.... she's amazing... these two were doing High 5's after the 1st session!!

Apart from some skin abrasions from the casting, about a 5/10 on the pain scale..... Matt's drinking coffee for the sake of it;  drawing and playing music - aside of him keeping us entertained or vice versa.
