Much has happened the last week. The biggest news is that my brace is now unlocked at all times. My goal is to try to not walk like Frankenstein. I am walking with a limp but definitely getting more of a bend. I took two 30 min walks yesterday--slow, but I did it.
PT now consists of more active exercises--10 min on treadmill, 10 min on bike, balancing exercises, weights on ankles when doing side and front moves, squats, a weight machine, calf raises. So all that's good.
Still no driving approval. I have so much I would like to be doing and my kids are missing some activities due to this. My lovely friends and husband have covered so much for me, but now I want back in. But I will listen to my therapist. BTW, she gave me a Halloween bracelet today as I admired hers the other day.
Also, I am attempting to go up and down stairs correctly. And my home exercises now include bands to us.
As for pain, it comes at points, but nothing serious. Today, I felt some on the side of the knee and quad. The other thigh also is sore due to compensation!
That's the latest and greatest.
