News, and Stuff...

Well, I have hesitated writing anything lately, as not too much has changed on the recovery front. I had an appointment with my Doctor last week, and was told that I have another 4 weeks of non-weight bearing. That will put me at almost 10 weeks of not putting any weight on my leg. It is driving me insane. I want nothing more than to step out of bed and stroll to the bathroom, or the kitchen for a drink. My armpits and hands are in agony from my crutches, so I have resorted to a pittiful and humiliating mode of transportation for short distances, hopping. I have nearly put my eye out on a few occasions where I have tried to hop without a bra. I have also started gravity assisted bending of my knee, a uncomfortable but not painful process. I am bending at about 45-50 degrees, and my doctor wants me to start PT also and be bending at 90 degrees by the time I see him next. I hastily asked him to refill my pain medication. They will not be gentle. Maybe if I load up before I go, I won't feel them hurting me? Probably not a good idea.
