tiredness/ swelling/ walking

[Guest guest]

Is it normal to want to sleep for a good part of the day following

surgery. I am 9 days post op and seem o be needing more and more

sleep. I did have two blood transfusions in hospital and am taking

iron tablets so hopefully isnt amaemia any more??? Yesterday i slept

for about sixteen hours ???

Also do any of you experienced hippies have any tips for swelling.

It is improving but I lok like I am growing an alien on one hip?

The other thing is how far should I be walking for each day. The

staff at the hospital are very vague and say listen to your body,

take it easy, don't push it. But lots of posts on message board tell

of people doing lots more than me???

Any tips will be great.

Thank you Cheryl xx
