Hi all,
3 and a half weeks post op.Just another update I am getting better each day. Slow progress but getting there, I have a 110 Rom and 0%. Pt is getting better drove for the first time on Sunday went into the store by myself not easy with crutches but I did it. Still getting a little frustrated not being able to do everything I used to but I will wait till I can. I tend to swing my hip when I walk my pt told me to march but of course I exagerate the marching so I had to try and concentrate on walking right. So now when I walk I am saying to myself "heel toe, heel toe". Did anyone else have that problem very hard to sleep I would love a good nights sleep, I have heard of others who have had a hard time sleeping also any suggestions? Truthfully I thought this would be so easy to recover from and that I would be normal really fast boy was I wrong. It is slow and at times very painful still need the meds trying to cut down but I find I feel better and can do a little more if I have no pain. How long before I can feel normal and do what I used to do? How long before there is no limp when I walk without aid? How long on the coumidin? Sorry for all the questions. I am walking and exercising everyday, going in my pool also I am not laying down at all during the day. thanks for any advice and help
