Day 19: Well things continue to progress well. Totally on my own walking now. Gait is still stiff and some pain around the incision area, but otherwise doing well. Or so I thought. Decided to a 1 mile walk around the neighborhood. While I made it, I had not appreciated how much atrophy there was. By the end my quad was trembling and my knee hurt. I toughed it out, but wow, I still have work ahead of me. Good lesson to learn. I’m going to do some work on our treadmill in shorter bursts to build up strength. Anyway, I survived.
The walk aside, I am sleeping better and only taking one 500mg Tylenol every 4 hours or so. Sitting in chairs remains a pain but that is the only real thing that bothers me. Till next time!
