Get my knee 100% better

I’m aloud to run!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This really sucks :(

I’ve hit a major road bump. My knee is swelling up horribly, and it’s so much more painful then it used to be. My physiotherapist doesn’t know what happened and why this is happening. Thankfully I have a checkup with my doctor on the 11th. Hopefully my knee is better by then, but if not I’ll talk to him and maybe get some answers :(
The healing of the scars are much better now. I think their at their max though. So I’m stuck with what I’ve got. Oh well.

Curious?

I had my first physio appointment today. The main focus is to get me knee straightened again. At the beginning, my knee had a three finger gap from the table when I was straightening it as much as possible. I got on the bike, did some squats, and did some stretching. After, I could fully rest my knee on the table (completely straight!) I just have to keep the stretching, icing, and biking up and I should be good. I have two more appointments next week.

I’m getting MUCH better. My improvement in the last few days is amazing. I can put weight on my leg but I’m still using crutches, at least until I get the go-ahead from my surgeon to walk without them. I’ve tried doing small exercises like bending and straightening my leg so I don’t get to stiff staying in the same comfort zone position.

Things I have to say are getting a lot more dandy in the past day. I am able to now get out of bed without feeling an uncomfortable amount of liquid moving around in my knee. I can also go more then two minutes on crutches without getting extremely tired (I’m up to about four minutes! score!). However, I did have tons of blood leaking from my dressings today. Not fun to clean up after I have to say, but still, as is well. I slept like a baby last night as well, a 12 hour sleep without waking up, well I did wake up, but I was able to go right back to bed, it was awesome!

I have taken a picture of the comparison of both my legs (swelling-wise.) It’s disgusting. I don’t think the picture shows as much as it actually is. It is still almost impossible to do anything but lye in bed and get up occasionally to run (or should I say saunter) to the washroom. It is however getting better, but I still can’t sleep a full night through. I’ll post the picture when I get a chance to grab the cord from downstairs (which as well, I cannot go up or down stairs … GRREAATT) I also can’t put ANY weight what so ever on my hurt knee.

I had my knee surgery today. Good lord, it wasn’t bad, but it’s wasn’t good either. I felt drowsy and tired the entire day. I had to get an IV twice today which sucked, needles are a HUGE issue with me, but I got over it. I was told I might feel nauseous but I wasn’t at the hospital at all. However, when I got up to walk around I felt my stomach kick up a bit which wasn’t too fun. I also felt like I was going insane laying in the bed the entire time. In total, I was at the hospital for 11 hours. Not too bad I guess, a lot better then and overnighter, but still not fun. I had great nurses and my surgeon was absolutely awesome!!

till my surgery. I cannot wait. I am terrified but so ecstatic at the same time!
