Yesterday I went down a flight of stairs, and then back up, and her is the catch - WITH NO PAIN!
I am still wearing my very expensive, very large knee brace, but since my swelling s gone, it slides down to my ankles and ges incredibly annoying. So most of the time at home or at work I take it off. I religiously wear it outside and at the barn though, I just crank the straps as tight as i can.
I am spinning about 30 minutes a day, sometimes twice a day, and incorporating mild stretching and ab work. It is hard to know how far to stretch, i get this weird fear that I might just stretch my ligament right out of the bone. Yuck.
I also have a piece of string sticking out of the incision site on knee, and I have no idea what it is and it is weirding me out beyond belief. I get this feeling of fingernails on a chalkboard every time I think about it. God, what the heck is it connected to on the other end?? EEW!
All in all, I am doing FABULOUS! I feel better than I did pre-op. The doc was right! Short term pain LONG TERM GAIN!
