19 weeks! So many more to go!

April 26th, 2017

I haven’t been on in a while. Work has been crazy busy. So it’s been 19 weeks as of tomorrow since my injury. I’m happy to be walking again, but my walking is not normal. I still have the tightness and certain things like walking down the stairs are still unbelievably difficult. I can picture myself just going downstairs like I always did, but my body doesn’t want to do that as of yet. I’m trying to get into a workout routine, but it was only just last week that I was able to do the elliptical machine for 20 minutes. I felt some twinges of pain, but at least I was able to keep going. Leg presses were a complete NO NO, and I was so stunned when I found 25 lbs to be a challenge on the leg extension machine. But I keep trying. I did water aerobics the other night and all of the being up on your toes, even in water, was a bit of a struggle. Today my doctor finally admitted it can take a year or more for the swelling and pain and difficulty doing regular activity could stop. He did encourage me to go ahead and try my cycle classes again. I will be there first thing Saturday morning!

    I’m surprised your doctor didn’t tell you at the start that it could take as long as a year to heal up completely. That was on my pre-surgery sheet. Granted my surgery was planned months in advance since it was something I knew I would have to have over 9 years ago - LOL! Congrats on getting to the 19 week mark! I’m almost at 12 weeks and just about to start PT.
