It has been three weeks today that I had my surgery.
So, time for a little recap of this week. Where am I on day 21?
I am walking slowly trying my hardest to have a normal gait, but in the morning, my leg is stiff and at night, it is fatigued. I am still having a hard time sleeping. Getting into a position that is comfortable for my leg is hard. I have numbness (not sure if I had mentioned it before) on my shin and the bruising is ever so slowly going away. I am able to get my leg to full extension pretty easy in the morning when I am doing my exercises and have pretty good flexibility, although, I have not been measured in a while. I am able to balancing exercises, mini squats and lunges, ride the bike (for flexibility) and walk in the pool. My incision is healing nicely, but not completely healed and the scar tissue will need to be massaged to get it to reduce in size and eventually go away.
