But the strange thing is that I had read BoneSmart for hours but can't read a book. Go figure. That's probably more ADD than it is surgery
4 weeks is right in the middle of the angry tissue stage. It's hard, because your mind says you ought to be feeling much better, but your knee says "Not yet, my friend."I'm tired of the roller coaster ride. I have therapy again tomorrow. To be honest, I'm a little stressed and worried that I'll never get back to normal again. I know it's only been 4 weeks but I can't help feeling this way.
If the exercise with your leg hanging over the table made you cry, don't do it again.Well, today was OP PT #2. Mixed emotions. It went relatively well but I did cry while my leg hung from the table at a slight angle. It was short and I got over it quickly. Went on to other exercises without any excessive pain or crying. Then got iced and walked out feeling ok. My ROM is 70, extension is 3 @ 4 weeks out. Feels like I'm so slow....
I'd leave it alone. Tell your surgeon - will you be seeing him again any time soon?One of the internal stitches is sticking out a bit, she said it was normal and not to worry about it. What are your thoughts?
