Not going home today kids. It's looking more like tomorrow or Wednesday now. They just want to give me the histoligy results from what they removed last week before I go. So the nail biting continues.
I noticed a very subtle weakness down my right hand side yesterday. It appears my hand writing has been affected. Not so much as it's become illegible, but anyone who knows the way I write would spot the difference. This is due to the swelling, and should get back to normal with the help of a few steroids.
I have to admit to a bit of a panic in the days following the op. I couldn't get my words out. At first I thought they'd damaged the creative area of my brain. It was a little terrifying for a while. But this has also subsided and am pretty much back to normal.
I was allowed off the ward for the first time last night. Just down to the cafe. It's the furthest I've walked in few days, and was nice to get off the ward.
Will let you all know about the histoligy results, and when I'm going to be out.

You'll get the handwriting back James and get rid of any weakness with using your muscles again. If there was a persistent problem they'd give you physio I expect and you'd get it back that way - just got to teach yourself again like after having a stroke/trauma.
