Hi Jon, I feel for you completely! I have posted before you about my recovery, I have had a tibia tubercular transfer and lateral release due to having 27 dislocations from the age of 7, I am now 35.I too had to stay in with covid alone and have no visitors which is awful. I am in a full brace for 6 weeks but can only touch weight with my leg and can’t bend or walk at all. I had my shin broken and reset and then pinned with screws and my kneecap realigned andantes lateral release and tighten on both sides of my kneecap. I’m 3 weeks out of surgery and haven’t been able to do anything. I have literally been bed bound apart from odd ups and to the toilet and shower as I have a broken leg but no pot on. It is soul destroying been unable to move. I am lucky that my pain threshold is good and I got out of hospital after 1 day and I am now only on paracetamol but bear with it is what I’d say. I know it’s tough and I have cried and been beyond fed up with the pain and the fact I have gone from been an independent person to relying on everyone to look after me! You will get though it and hopefully have a better life at the other side.I too feel the same as you, if I’d known what I know now I don’t think I’d have had it done, I just hope the results are worth it because if not I don’t know how I’ll cope.Hope you feel well soon
