I recognise all that you have written. I also had mine done before they seriously disabled me, as an investment for the future when (one hopes) post covid freedom is restored, and both done at once as I really don’t want to sacrifice any more of my active years. And many’s the time I’ve regretted it too.
5 months is a tricky time mentally. You can see the light, but don’t seem to be getting there, doing more but feeling old and weak. Don’t despair. As everyone says, it does get better. My strength started flooding back from around six months as I started moving around more naturally..
At 8 months now, walking downstairs properly is default mode, sometimes a bit sore, but still default mode. I can run back up them, jog (rather clumsily) across the road if need be. Still swell if I am on my feet without walking around, but did four hours the other day.
But…weighted leg extensions still cause problems!
I won’t waffle on any more as I will do an 8 month update on my thread. Just try to be patient, it is what it is, and there’s no going back, that’s what I have to keep reminding my frustrated self.
