It's only been a few days since my surgery, but I'm already becoming more independent and mobile. I've nearly mastered using my crutches to get from place to place, and I'm mostly able to get into my CPM machine by myself. Since I started taking Aleve yesterday, I've had nearly no pain. I successfully traveled up and down the stairs by myself today which was awesome. I hated laying on the couch all day. One thing I have had issues with is carrying stuff. This is mostly because of the crutches taking up all of the room in my hands. I'm trying to get creative and think of ways to work around this problem.
I start physical therapy tomorrow which I'm both nervous and excited for. I'm nervous because I'm sure that they'll have me doing something I'm not 100% comfortable with just yet, but if I don't do whatever they want me to do, I'll never get back to how I was before. I'm excited to further gain my strength back. I'm ready to be off of these stupid crutches. My physical therapist is a pretty cool guy, I guess. He seemed nice when I met him the first time.
Anyhow, I haven't been up to much recently if that isn't obvious. This is exactly what I worried about before having the surgery. I hate being dormant, I have to stay mentally stimulated or I feel like I'm going insane. It's been a struggle sitting around doing nothing which is exactly why I try to do as much as possible.
I feel like I've typed so much, but I have about 100 more words to go. So uhh... I'm actually about to eat dinner. How exciting. We're having grilled chicken I think. It's one of my favorites. Usually, I help make dinner out my house but I'm not exactly able to. Haha. I would like to, I really like cooking. I've just about got my 350 words. Goodness gracious I'm ready to have these blogs done. I only have to write one more comment and, after this post, two more blogs. Alright, I'm gonna go. See y'all.
I’m sorry to hear about you surgery and that you have to spend some of your summer like this. But I feel your pain. I was on crutches for 6 months and I had to do therapy too. Therapy really isn’t that bad you’ll just get really frustrated and mad. But if you need anything I got you girl I don’t love far from you at all. But just think when you are all healed you’ll be back and better than ever. And also I love grilled chicken too it’s the bomb. Also I’m ready to have these blogs done too I feel like I’m stressing about these way too much. Anyways love you and hope you get better soon. -Anna mason #3
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry about your surgery. I feel your pain. I had two surgeries on both of my knees. It really is not fun. The six months go by so slow. But once you get to feeling better it will go by much faster. Make sure to listen to your doctors, if you don't they will get mad. Trust me I tried not listening. But once I did it went by much faster. Grilled chicken sounds so good right now, but I had spaghetti. I feel like I have stressed way to much over these blogs. I am just ready to finish them. I just don't know what to write about at the moment. Anyway, I hope you feel better soon. If you need anything let me know! -Tristan Smithee #1
