My Colorful Knee [8: Graphic Warning] (Update #22)

[dukedogsmom]

Wow. It certainly is colorful. And I agree about staying put and not rushing yourself. If you try to rush it getting well, you could do a lot of damage. Then you'd really be in a mess. Just take it one day at a time and get lots of rest. My brother damaged his knee and will be on crutches for probably three months. He's never been out of commission and it's driving him crazy. But, he's taking it easy and getting better. I hope you feel better soon.

Gina, I have not had any knee surgeries, but have had plenty of others.
Please rest your knee and take care of yourself.

My prayers are going up that it starts healing faster and that you are able to do more each day.

Sending hugs and prayers,
Crystal

first of all, I didn't drive across the country because I know I couldn't.

I apologize for being mixed up about this. You did cross the country in a car though - with your critters, and someone else driving? That's a long trip for a healthy leg!

The one thing you did that really concerned me was this - the rope course.

Considering that was just 2 weeks after your 2nd surgery - it was rather reckless, don't you think?

You need to take care, Gina, or you could do serious damage to that leg.

Having been through too many surgeries myself, I know it's hard to not automaticaly do stuff. Being an active person, not being able to do stuff, was torture. Luckily my surgeries allowed me to walk which really helped my recovery, much to my doctor's delight!! Are you going to physical therapy Gina?? It can be painful but helpful in the long run. Make sure you elevate your leg. Are you allowed to put an ice back on it to keep the swelling down? Anyway.. hope you feel better day by day.
