Entering into week 4....
Thought I was doing great on Friday, was up and about a fair bit, pushed the Hoover around in a fairly minimal manner. Had a visit from one of my oldest friends and laughed a lot
while drinking coffee and eating a chocolate eclair.
Then Saturday .... knee was miserable yesterday... very very tight, feels like its wrapped in elastic bands whilst being made of concrete
Surprisingly it's still bending, and whilst swollen...not hugely swollen, so I'm guessing this is the next phase of healing pain?
Slept a bit better last night (still awake and up every 2 hours, but strung together about 7 hours like this) but still uncomfortable this morning.... I suppose the feeling is like a small cut healing and the tight feeling from that, but magnified 100 times over my knee, shin, thigh and the final bit of spectacular bruising above my ankle.
I'm reading everyone's journeys and hoping that the end of this week will bring the next stage.
When I look back I can see huge differences over the past 3 weeks, but new stiffness and pain is a bit depressing.... I keep telling myself this is the end of week 3, patience patience.
I have my physio first checkup on Thursday evening, interested to see how that goes.
Hope everyone has a good day
