It's been a good weekend so far. Last night I enjoyed getting out of the house to go to the pool. Today we're in Abergavenny for the food festival. I've managed to walk around for a few hours with DonJoy brace for support. So far so good but let's see what tomorrow brings! For now there is more cider to be drunk and local food to enjoy.
Today is the last day I have to wear the compression stockings and I won't miss them 1 bit!
My bruising has almost all gone. I'm just left with a bit of a yellow bruise on the bottom of my shin and ankle.
The plan was to go swimming last night but after sitting in the floor doing my exercises I got up to find I'd developed a sharp pain down the right hand side of my knee cap. So it was a night on the sofa instead :( will try again tonight.
4th physio session today
Knee bend at 120 degrees. 135 degrees is considered 'normal', although my good leg gets to 145 degress. Charlotte the physio said the last 15 degree bend on the bad leg will just come in time now.
Started work on the stairs, to try and get back to being able to go up the stairs normally. Coming down on the bad leg is going to take a bit more work.
Most excitingly, Charlotte has said I can go in the pool :) I can now reactivate my gym membership and get out of the house. Hopefully next week, static cycling might be allowed - fingers crossed (I didn't tell her that I had already tried my turbo trainer at the weekend!)
Only 2 more days of compression stockings to go.
