:) I wanna share my wahooey! with you...
The past 7 weeks have been rather exciting & something i'd rather not repeat very often! I finished my 5 week "sentence" in the leg brace the other day and it's oh so nice to have it off! :D I am purchasing a different type tomorrow just to give me piece of mind during the holidays & a bit afterwards.
I can bend/move my right knee to a certain extent and then it tells me "nup..not going any further there chickie..thank you for trying..do come back another day"
Today has been the best bit of the last 7 weeks :D
1-My physio said yes I can use a trainer :D I can't make a circle with my right knee yet but i can go up a bit & then backward!!! I gave the exercise bike @ thier office a try. All i need now is some type of mini step ladder to help me get on & off the bike.
I asked him if i kept up doing all the pool & home based exercises provided plus pilates would the end of jan be a reasonable time for getting back on the bike outside...Answer-:D
2-I joined our group swim & had a great time with our drills :D I was just about back to my previous speed :D
Very happy that i kept swimming with our group & on my own when i recieved the ok to do so from the ortho! I was getting a bit bored of swimming with the pull buoy but
3-If i can get into the drivers side of our car i can drive :D (i have to wait until ian gets back on sunday to give driving a shot. Ian also tells me i have to pass his test before he lets me drive :o )
4-I'm able to go to the beach but unable to venture into the ocean due to the instability..
Don't panic kids..I'm being careful when i do any (right)knee-related movement. I know one false move & i could be back to square one.
Thanks again for all your support :)
