Fall - after week three
May 26, 2019
It’s been three weeks and three days since I fell.
I’m walking but it wears me out and I limp badly.
I did 5 minutes on treadmill today.
I’ve had days when my knee ached, and that makes me scared I need a knee replacement. Most days, I have pain in my glutes, and the muscle just about my knee and below, but not the knee itself.
I’m faithfully doing rehab exercises.
Here’s the deal. Each day, I get about 10% better than the day before. Note that doesn’t add up to 100% better. But since I’m 10% better, I do 10% more effort, leaving me tired and frustrated at the end of the day.
Rinse, Shampoo, repeat.
I have to ask the physical therapists if I am better, because I don’t feel it.
