I haven't been on lately, since I went back to work (working from home on a restricted basis). I've been going to PT and incision healed finally and I can go into water therapy. So what happens just a few minutes ago? I am walking through the dining room carefully, I am thinking and using my cane just for safety's sake; the toe of my shoe catches on the rug and I go flying. In those few seconds I see that I will land right on my knee cap, so I turned my body and landed on my right side (my right is the TKR). We have concrete with tile over it and I manage to hit my head on a chair, but no problem there. I lay there, thinking I have really did myself in. I pulled myself over to the chair after about 5 minutes and manage to pull myself up. Luckily, I don't think I damaged the knee. It doesn't hurt and I am sitting in a chair with ice on it, just to be sure. I have PT this afternoon, so we will have them take a look.
That's what I get for being a little too cocky about walking around.
So take care friends and neighbors and don't overdue. Just walking slowly through one's house can be hazardous. I am going to have a bruise on my right side the size of Cleveland, but I would rather have that, than a knee that must be redone.
Besides my near catastrophe, I am doing well. I have been driving myself to PT and have shlepped around a couple of stores during shopping trips with my husband for necessities. It is important to get out, I have found. Being inside all the time really bums a person out.
I see my doctor next week and I plan to talk to him about me going back to work the first week in November since I need to take a business trip that will last a week.
Now I plan to read up on everyone's blog since I haven't been on the site for a while. Take Care everyone!
