Surgery now a full month behind me!!
Today so far better than yesterday, less lateral knee/IT pain and less surgical site discomfort. I'm working on walking the right way without a wobble or limp.
But now as of 2pm my lower back is pissed off, can't sit or stand without discomfort.
So now time for a Ta-Da list:
In the past month... surgery and two weeks non-weight bearing, CMP machine and ice machine, up to 20 mins twice a day on The Bird with zero resistance, two weeks completed of PT, off crutches and able to walk the dog a few short blocks, now up to walking her twice a day, driving rental car (that's an accomplishment for me!).
My To-Do List:
For the next month...start swimming even if just 10 mins or just aqua-jogging, next week (6 weeks) start elliptical, strengthen back and pay more attention to posture and "time off" to rest that irritated nerve, build upper body strength as possible cuz I'm tired of feeling weak there, get to where I can walk dog more than a few blocks.
