I am here. Seems to have a history
It should come up in English on my shit phone it does.
Krzeszowice is 25km ftom Krakow and about 10km from Zabierzow- where our train station & Lidl are.
It has benefited from state investment- i came here a bunch of times after we landed to get onto the Polish Zus system - Like National Insurance & Inland Revenue rolled into one.
On Mondays it has a huge outdoor market - i sm now literally next door to that - this time of year its where all of the region come to buy bedding out plants (plus usual market junk) also, a couple of miles out of town is my favourite Brewery and the same distance north lies one of the 2 golf courses in Krakow
We are 3 to a room lunch was better than Olkusz but padded with a much needed salad Mrs P_F got me. Meds are delivered (yay Tramadol). The admission exam/interview took an hour, Doc picked up on all my aches and pains and everyone of them will now be noted and added to my Therapy regime.
My task until Monday is to chill out.
I can go out for a walk in the park, whatever, just no alcohol or tobacco (latter no problem)
For 4 and a half weeks.
31 days in a health spa.
Massage sessions, hydrotherapy, cryotherapy the lot.
All booked
All on the Polish NHS

Chilling out is not gonna be possible because this place is really full of the lowest level selfish shites going.
I just exploded at some cunt who spent 4 minutes banging on the toilet door while i was taking my 1st shit since Monday
He marched off to find a nurse to translate explained and she absolutely let rip at him as well.
And so.eone eles walked in the ktapper.
There has been worse. Much worse
My best was old cunt next bed insisted on watching tik rocks no headset.
For 3 hours before i called it out.
Argument. He is entitled.
OK fine.
You Tube.

Update
After the admission interview they messed up the meds so at bedtime i had to beg a couple of Panadol.
They lasted about 3.5 hours and off we went.
The problem is swelling. It has worsened to the point where through sign language and pointing i have one of three urgently needed ice packs.
The entire leg is about 25% bigger. No pain in the wound but permanently cramped calf muscle and regularly cramping tjigh muscle.
Ankle now joining in the fun.
This was expected they already had me on meds for it but right now 75ml Tramadol & 375ml Paracetamol is lasting 4 hours.
And i really dont want to take too much of that shit.
Right now FML.
Christ on a bike
Meds nurse just came in and basically said yeah isnt it shit.
Which is what it is
Youchā¦hang in there, vocaliseā¦your neighbours deserve it!

Park Bench selfie during my 30m break from physio - got here all on my own (in stages obv)
Session 1 is all about the research lots of Q&A now starting to build a regime.
Atm? Bend my ankles back and forwards thatās ot.
Oh and interestingly no pain - stop before any pain atm is crucial
Really looking forwards to an hour of cryotherapy 
it is tech based and doesnāt involve garbage bin ice baths!

Little miracles.
Say 2nd day of some deep tissue massage around the wound. Bear in mind the outside of the leg - the Femoral Tendon? is rock solid and the skin is numb, getting down into that yowza.
The Quad muscle was sliced during surgery and reattaced in sections. Jeeez
So that and the simplest yet most exhausting exercises mean i am down to only being in agony every 3 hours or so.
With legs slightly raised and support under the knees i actually lifted my ankles 1cm off the cushion.
Considering Iāve been humping @Goatboy stash of Pork Leg around for 8 days that was a big motivator.
Been told to walk a bit less as was getting some pains but made it to the park for 30m.
Back in the Ward the newbie in the window bed 
maybe 10 times now I do not know what you are saying I do not speak Polish as he asks me my thoughts on a shadow on the wall from a passing bus.
He cannot even open / close a bottle of water, or press the button when he needs his nappy changed so he lies in a pool of his own piss several hours a day.
Poor guy
Smell of piss covers up me farting with the awful food. Im now down 3.1kg since Sunday.
Iāve told tge Doc - gonna track that stat from tomorrow.
Mrs P_F off work Corpus Christie Bank Holiday tomorrow- arriving with new Reading Glasses and Pot Noodles and other emergency rations
Only annoyance was the cricket getting rained off. Was gonna have that on full volume and forget to connect my headset

Hope you watched the Swiatek v Osaka match thatās just finished?
Nah
Im really not a Tennis fan these days.
I had a good system of light Netflix shit on my phone on a stand with 1.5 reading glasses
Then they self destructed
After some complex faffing around i managed to get the laptop into a lay down battery mode and there was only one thing to watch
New season has been iffy. Episode 4 was good old fashioned creepy thriller - prob because Doc wasnt in it more than a few seconds
Hey Phil? How you copingvwith the whole mental side of non stop pain, starvation diet food and not a single soul speaking English?
Me: Iām cool, Iāve got a hobby, a challenge no less.
Iām building a pill pot snake Itās gonna be epic

Yowā¦I had to crawl off the field unaided during a game at Monks Brook with torn Achilles. Does that fuckinā hurt! 
Childbirth? Women donāt have a clue.
I ruptured the one on my right leg about 13 years ago, thought Iād balance the booksā¦
So you wonāt be able to play Fantasy Football until next year?
I may know somewhere for Physioā¦
Yep nothing more embarrassing than limping on just one foot.
