Yes it is and you should definitely treat it as such. Glad you're doing so well.

It certainly is a full time job ... but a temporary one!
You're so dedicated, this will fly by.
Tried to do all the exercises they told me to do but I bonked hard, now my knee is really tight, maybe just too much for my first full day out of the hospital.
Are you sure they didn’t say something about easing into the exercises :)
Know that by the time you move to florida you’ll be ‘young and fit’ again and enjoying riding your townie to the beach :D….warm hugs and hoping you heal quickly and safely!!!
Keep healing ...
Will your PT come to your house, or do you have to get to their office? Hope you didn't get too much snow!
Nurse came to the house yesterday and the PT is coming this morning. Definitely need som clarification on how hard I'm supposed to be going, the PTA at the hospital said to take a day of rest then hit it, which made me feel awful. Yesterday I took three hours of naps and then slept for almost 10 hours, feeling better today.
Rebecca, those thoughts are keeping me going, just get better and get to the beach!
Update: Tuesday will be two weeks and I'm finally starting to feel stronger! As I walk with the walker there is almost no weight on my hands anymore; my gait is stiff but is slowly coming back. I see a light at the end of the tunnel! My staples come out Wednesday and I start outpatient PT next Friday if the weather cooperates.
:) :) :)
Yay! (C'mon weather, cooperate!)
Great news! Sounds like you're doing well.
2 weeks already, congratulations!
Staples are out! It was uncomfortable but not awful, doc says I'm doing fantastic. Even gave me the okay (if I'm comfortable with it) to go back to work half time on the 16th!
Since we're moving to Florida in mid May I am sooo ready to get on with it. We stayed for the fantastic surgeon but now I'm ready to get going with our new life.Quote:
