"You started PT way behind but you are making up for the lost time." I'm walking without crutches and can no longer be called "gimp. " I can bend my knee 30 degrees more than I could on Tuesday! #kneesurgery #lateralrelease #illberunningagainsoon #focusonthepositive #amazingfamilyandfriends #itwillbeworthit #nopainnogain #nomoremushymuscles
Straight leg push without shaking! :) 2 inches of swelling gone down since Friday! #improvementeveryday #bepatient #kneesurgery #lateralrelease #illberunningagainsoon #focusonthepositive #amazingfamilyandfriends #itwillbeworthit #nopainnogain #nomoremushymuscles
Early start this morning = more at home PT = fluid out of knee = recovery! PT asked me to do pt 3 to 5 times a day. Going for 5! I want my PT to be impressed by my improvement each appointment! Appointment at 3:30 today! #hardwork #nopainnogain #goforit #nomoremushymuscles
Little by little swelling and bruising going down! And it looks like we are all over the flu too. #kneesurgery #lateralrelease #bepatient #illberunningagainsoon #flutookawaymystrengthforadayofpt
My knee went down another quarter inch! :) I did 3 sets of my exercises yesterday and Tim saw improvement :) Did STEM for 90 minutes last night (waking up my quad muscles.) I'm walking with 1 crutch! Focus on the good ♡ So thankful for amazing family and friends ♡ #kneesurgery #lateralrelease #illberunningagainsoon #focusonthepositive #amazingfamilyandfriends
PT yesterday was painful but helpful. "No pain, no gain!" I asked my PT how I did and he replied, " You are way behind. " He has given me all the tools/activities I hopefully need to get my swelling down which will allow my muscles to "wake up." As my "quad is mush", hopeful to get a at home Tens unit today (makes your muscles move.) #kneesurgery #lateralrelease #goawayswelling #itwillbeworthit #nopainnogain #nomoremushymuscles
Blood clot thinning! I start PT today! #kneesurgery #improvementeveryday #bepatient #lateralrelease #onwardandupward #illberunningagainsoon
Follow up today confirmed my knee is too swollen due to blood and blood clot. Dr. removed 60ml of blood. Dr. said this happens sometimes and nothing is wrong just slows down recovery. I start physical therapy Thursday! Onward and upward! :) #kneesurgery #lateralrelease #yesitwasabigneedleandhurt #onwardandupward #illberunningagainsoon
