Yep, I had to move the center of gravity back a bit, and the dump is a little too deep now. I am due for a new chair soon, so that one will no doubt fit better, but adapting my current chair works fine.

Anyway, it has been two weeks since surgery and I'm home and healing well ahead of schedule.

I was literally heading to an appointment with the you-have-no-legs doctor to see how having no legs is going, and my brain kept being like "but you can't just rock up without any shoes on! What would people think?!"

Getting to see these guys yesterday was the perfect way to conclude my first week. If all goes well, I'll be home with them in just a few days!

If everything continues as planned, I have three more days of mandated bed rest followed by a day or so of working on transfers, and then I should get to go home!

The nurse who replaced the bandage also remarked multiple times that she was surprised it had only been two days because the incision looked so good. Hopefully a promising sign!

The dressing on the right side, which had been threatening to slip off since shortly after surgery, fully let go while I was doing physio exercises yesterday. As surreal as it was to see the stump with zero preparation, I was delighted to note that the surgeons saved my tattoo.
