It has now officially been 6 weeks since my surgery that changed my life! I have not posted in a few weeks because I have been so busy! It has been a great few weeks. I am doing very well.
I saw my DR yesterday and he is so impressed with my recovery. Before surgery my movement was 10 degrees to 90 degrees...now it is 0-112! This is a HUGE improvement. Usually that is not normal. Your movement before surgery is reflective of what your movement will be after! But with a TON of hard work, a great surgeon, awesome PTs and I have beat the odds. But it is still not over! The last few weeks have been ultra busy and has taken my attention. Once school settles down I will pick up my home PT again.
I had PT today and I am doing awesome! I went dancing last Saturday and my FEET were killing me and my knee was great. But discovered a few new muscles!
even with sitting for hours at a time and not being able to do my exercise at home, I have not lost any of my gains!!!
I am finally allowed to swim!!! I plan on hitting the water ASAP!!!
My scar is keloiding so they gave me some strips to put on it 12 hours a day...it is what they use for plastic surgery. They also gave me some gel for pain and a electrical machine to help with muscle pain.
I am exhausted, so I will fill in the details later. I only got 3 hours sleep last night due to burning midnight and early morning oil!
