Update: I am "walking" again or rather limping ;)

I am not sure how to continue that blog, so I will call it update for now :)

The night was not too bad, but I still didn't sleep much. In the morning I managed to go to the loo with the one crutch! 

Before heading to the hospital with a potential doctor, we called there. And they said we should wait and call later again. I already thought I am not going to see a doctor anymore, when it was coming close to noon. The family organized an ancient looking walker for me so I could move. Suddenly they came and said: quick! So we jumped into the car and headed into town. It is over 50 km (one-way), so about 1 h later, we were there. And I really got to see a doctor. Again, no English and he seemed annoyed and impatient. Taking off my bandages relatively brutal... Again: utting gaze with disinfectant into the wounds, new dressings and off we went again. I will have to be back tomorrow for the same game and maybe some stapling. But he also said I should walk to prevent thrombosis. After all the pulling on my legs and pain, I was actually able to "walk" even on my left leg! And knowing I should, even if it hurts was good. Otherwise I would have naturally tried not to walk. 

The drive back was fun, because we were all relieved, I chose some music, we stopped for veggies and fruits and back home they cooked food for all of us!

Some resting, walking, sleeping and the day was over. I am feeling much better, have people who look for me and are willing to drive me again to the hospital tomorrow and I can move again. Feels good :)

We will see what the doctor says tomorrow, if/when I might go back to Germany. Otherwise I have a little home away from home here ;)


This morning - by now I have less dressings :)
