Went to the doc today... He was impressed with my range of motion and how everything was healing up... Told me I could ditch the immobilizer around the house and stop torturing myself with the CPM machine (aka the leg bendy make hurty rig)... Gave me a script for 90 more Percocets (which I don't need, but I took a couple anyway cause they make me feel GREAT)... Best part is... I get to return to work tomorrow! Thank god, I was going fucking insane here around the house.
Today was a good day. |

That's gonna leave a nice conversational piece.
 How good are you able to walk on it, if any at all? Are you going to have to have PT?

is it just the angle or did your swelling go up massively on day 4 and 5?

When I went to the doc a couple weeks ago, the told me I could ditch the immobilizer when at home, but I should use it for stairs and anytime I'm out and about (just in case)... By that point I was on a single crutch and I bought a cane immediately following the visit... Now I'm able to hobble around without the cane and without the immobilizer... I've lost a full two inches off the leg muscles above the knee and I haven't measured my calf yet... I can stand with full weight on it, but it's wobbly... My leg is very weak and if I try to walk normal it wants to give out. I'm not going to push it... I have almost full range of motion bending my leg at this point, but the loss of muscle is going to take a while to get back. Each day it gets a little better with me having more and more ability to lift my knee, my leg, and bend my leg at will... Here in a few weeks I'm going to start exercising it myself... The doc has no plans for any offical physical therapy... |
