Sorry I keep forgetting this is a worldwide forum and people wouldn't have a clue about "Geordies" and "Northumbria".!!!! "Geordie" is slang for a native of Newcastle -upon-Tyne in the north-east of England. Northumbria is the ancient medieval name for part of Newcastle and part of Scotland. Now separate but has given its name to a university in Newcastle. There's your history and geography lesson for today. And if I'm wrong @Legin will put me right, won't you hinny? And @Maggie94 I hope you're ok and your twins are behaving. xxx

Nice toes! How are you today?

Hi Maggie, how are the knees?

Guys, the geography is interesting, but let's keep this thread on topic, please.

Hi @Maggie94 Checking in to see how you are going. Hope your comfortable and your recovery is going smoothly.
It will be interesting for me today as I head home. Not looking forward to 1.5 hour drive, getting in and out of the car, but so looking forward to being home.

Keep asking for ice and meds on time, and remember to use your voice when you need to.

Beautiful sunshine here this morning, sure hope you have an outside view, remember to take a peak.

oh no! sorry to hear about the rough transition on meds but there is simply no excuse for bully PTs in a bi-lat!! Report them, stat!!

 

[Blendab1]

Sorry your meds are not cutting it right now, I hope that they mellow out soon. Glad your bandages are off, looks like you had a reaction to something on your lower leg, or is that from the tourniquet?

Long distance hugs are on their way to you!

 

[Celle]

I agree with Teresa (TexasTee). Do not let the PT hurt or intimidate you.
At this stage, you need very little PT anyway. Just a little, gentle movement is all you need - as well as learning how to get out of bed and back in again. Just let your knees rest and heal; ice and elevate if you can.

Hi Maggie hope you are feeling better. I would think at this stage PT would be getting out of bed and a little walk..take good care. Everyone is rooting for you..
