The physio is getting harder but definitely helps. The knee bending machine is due to go back any day, just waiting on a call from them to say they are coming to get it.
We bought a recumbent bike, we had to assemble it. I say we but my husband actually put it all together, I sat nearby and read out the instructions and passed him the nuts and bolts, he did all the hard work. I can't do a full turn yet so I just go back and forth as far as I can. Hopefully soon I will be able to do a full rotation.
The tightness in and around the knee is easing but it has not gone away fully yet.
Friday and Saturday I felt a bit down, feel a bit better today.
I am now able to lie on both my left and right sides but it isn't comfortable enough to sleep so still sleeping on my back.
I know that I wouldn't want to go through this again but I can see that eventually I will be glad I did. Not quite there yet.
I am back to doing some chores, my husband is doing more than me still in the house plus the outside stuff. I am trying to do as much as I can to lighten his load. Each day I can do a little more.
Our dishwasher quit. What timing eh! I need to research before getting a new one because we need one that can cope with low water pressure and flow. I have taken on all the dishwashing duties and do most of the cooking now.
My husband has been an absolute trooper, I could not have gone through this without his help, love and support. I am truly blessed.
sounds like you are doing what you should be doing... all that work will be worth it!! Husbands can be pretty helpful ( mine was!) !!
ReplyDeleteI think you're right - you will be so glad you had it all done, even if it's hard right now. I admire the way you've handled all of this.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pain about the dishwasher though.
