An extremely difficult and painful day for Naomi in her recovery from major surgery.

I’m absolutely exhausted after a very long and stressful day, so I won’t say too much now. Only that Naomi’s surgery this morning, to replace her prosthetic hip, seemed to go well, and she is in good spirits and without pain.

In these photos from three weeks ago, the Hospital in the Home nurse visits Naomi to assist in her home recovery, and flush the Portacath implanted in Naomi’s chest.

Although the arthritis effects every joint in Naomi’s body to some degree, her ankles are by far the most painful and crippling.

For this series of photos I experimented with a couple of ways of presenting a sequence. I want to experiment more with sequences in the future.
