So it's been 6 weeks since my injury.. and 4 since surgery... i'm starting to go a little crazy! I am finally getting to wabble around on crutches and moving my leg a bit, going to physio lots and trying to get my leg to bend. I am progressing well, gaining about 8-10degrees of motion for every couple days. But it,s still not good enough for me. I'm going insane sitting around the house and not being able to enjoy being outside and having fun.
I was also told today that although I can bike this year, I may not be able to downhill. f*ck. That's what I have been waiting all winter for. I am going to talk to my Dr next week when I see her again and see what I will and won't be able to do.
I now understand what other people go through when they are hurt. This being my first injury, i didn,t quite get it before. Now I feel super bad for not helping out some of my friends as much as I should have when they were injured. I didn't realize how hard it is to take care of yourself when there is no one around. It sucks.
So, hopefully in 2 weeks i'll be able to start walking. That would make me super happy.
