86 Degrees and Counting.....

I thought I might give you a knee update, seeing how tomorrow is 2 weeks since surgery.

PT has been coming out to my house, and will the rest of this week as well (2 more times). Then next week, I'll start out-patient PT.

Yesterday, the PTist bent my knee (she bent it) to 86 degrees. Now that is really good and it took me months to get to 86 degrees on my right knee, I am very thankful to have so much more range of motion, but getting there is so very painful.

I will just tell you that I had a very bad night last night. Hoping for a better PT day today, maybe not so much bending on the PTist part and more on my own part. We'll see.

So I thought I'd should you a few pics, so you can see kind of what we're dealing with here.

Yep that is a very tired and in pain me. Hubby took this last night, just before I went to bed.

















This is the view from my walker =)
















And here it is.....my new, pretty knee.
Isn't she lovely?

Lots of swelling and all the dark places are recovering blisters. At this angle you can't see where the big ones were, but you can get the idea.

Well, needless to say, we could still use your prayers. This knee is kickin' my booty some times. I know that is is getting better, it just seems to be going so slow.

Friday I get my staples out and then start out-patient PT next week.

Thanks so much for praying for us. I'm having a lot of swelling in the knee, but also in the ankle and foot too. But I know it will get better.

Have a Blessed day,
