Gosh I have been MIA for a bit, sorry about that! So yes, let's see, hubby had the flu, then the youngest came down with the flu, fridge died, cracked windshield, so you think that would be enough right???
Of course not. Nope. First a week ago, oldest ended up with a flat tire as she was leaving school, went next day, had a nail, easy fix, but of course the two front tires needed to be replaced.
Oh what is another $400 out the door after spending nearly $1000 on a new fridge?
Fast forward to last week, took van in for an oil change.....and you know of course it couldn't be that easy, had to get 2 brand new tires for the front of it as well. I don't even know how much it cost
because I didn't ask hubby, and I really didn't want to know.
Alright, so that's all the "bad" news I hope!
On to good! I am now 14.5 week out, 15 weeks this Thurs!
I am done with PT!
They told me to just continue working on my exercises and ROM, which I was at 102 bend and -11 for extension, so good if you ask me. Going to get my stationary bike out and work on it. I have started getting out shopping more, went grocery shopping last week and did fine. Went military ball dress shopping with oldest with no issue. I no longer use my cane, I have it, but rarely ever use it unless going somewhere completely unfamiliar or lots and lots people where I might get bumped. Driving is not an issue, getting in and out is fine, I do find I have to have the car door open all the way to get out when driving due to the angle. I am getting dressed mostly normally now, I can still feel a little twinge when I bend it to put in the pants leg, but it's not really painful. I mostly sleep through the night now, waking when occasionally turning over when my foot gets caught in the blanket
I feel pretty good, I only take Tylenol a needed now, not necessary even for my knee most times, usually headaches. I feel like I am getting my life back slowly, which makes me happy. I guess that is about it for my update for now, I will continue to check in
