Week Three of my Recovery

Well, I've made it to Week 3 without falling, or doing something stupid and hurting myself! This is good.
It's been a week from hell, with my dog Kodi going into the hospital for 3 days with pancreatitis. Wasn't sure if he was going to make it and was seriously considering having to put him down. This of course turned my world upside down. I was highly emotional about everything..couldn't even watch tv without losing it. I really didn't know how I was going to keep all the balls up in the air financially, being a student etc.

So my knee. I'm almost walking and am down to one crutch! I still can't shower and have to have a bath when my Mom is here, just in case. This reduces me to baths every other day. In past days before the surgery, I occasionally would slip and my bad knee would pop out-pretty terrifying!

I'm still icing every 3 hours and doing my rehab exercises 2x a day. One great thing is that I can stand on one foot without hanging onto anything- really important if you are walking.
I can almost straighten my leg, but when walking it still is crooked.

Today, I see my surgeon.  I was thinking of giving him a big kiss, but I'm sure his wife wouldn't want that. I'm hoping he is going to say that I can finally drive.

I'm still happy with my decision not to go with my originally booked surgeon, and try someone that my physio recommended. BTW, if you need any physio, I highly recommend Broadmead Orthopaedic Physio.
