Wed 20th August

First physio appointment was cancelled today by my physio (Peter Stanton @ UQ sports and physio center). I felt very dissapointed with that as I was desperate for help with my mobility and pain.

Mon 18th August

I went home to mum's place at dayboro today. It was a long and painful ride home and I almost passed out when I got out of the car at mum's. Bruce and mum had attempted to build me a ramp to get me into the house safely on a wheelchair but the 3 steps were too steep so they carried me instead.
Within a few hours of being home I had realised I wasn't given my endone on discharge and was in horrible pain. Mum and I drove to the nearest GP in Samford who prescribed and dispensed some straight away which helped me.
