happy 1 month since surgery to me !! healing is a wild ride i can’t wait to get off. i have so much more/thicker hair on my injured leg. i still have a giant scab on my knee. don’t ask ab my range of motion that’s frankly none of my business at this time!
the doctor telling me i’m healing well & just need a week or 2 before i start physio, and then writing in my physio referral that im “healing slowly but under control” …. oh ok. so what does that mean
crying on facetime to my parents about my leg. mom goes “btw it’s father’s day next sunday, so don’t forget to call”
??? i’ve been calling u every other day for the past month (to cry) do u think i was gonna take father’s day off? hope dad’s ready for more tears next wk
mainlining chocolate milk bc it’s good for recovery. the hospital gave me chocolate milk and told me it will help me mend. i was basically prescribed chocolate milk
like my knee barely bends and i gather from google that’s normal but i also gather from google i will need serious physio to make sure it bends once more……. why am i doing exercises from google to try to keep my knee engaged. why didn’t my doctor tell me any of this
it’s actually kind of insane i had emergency knee surgery & then when i was discharged (after 8 days in the hospital mind u) they didn’t tell me anything ab a recovery plan or what to expect or schedule a follow-up with the doctor
recovering from knee surgery is crazy. i’m never taking mobility for granted ever again (god willing it all comes back). just moved my kneecap a little and im like whoaaaa new sensation unlocked, couldn’t do that a few days ago
being in the hospital is kinda like being a chia pet or like a nintendog. make sure she’s alive. water her. it’s time for antibiotics! inspect her wound. which pain meds will she get today? you decide!
