So, I went back to work on Tuesday. It was tough and my knee still hurt but with my compression socks on (it’s cooler outside now so it’s more comfortable to wear them, it’s too uncomfortable in the summer), my knee brace, and the extender for my wheelchair, my knee felt a little less cracked open. I was a bit hopeful when I went to physical therapy on Wednesday. I told Kristen that my leg felt less cracked open and I looked forward to it not hurting one day.
The fact that hurt less made me feel better. It still hurts but maybe it’s getting better. Neither me nor Kristen watched This Is Us this week so we figured that we’d have more to talk about next week. She worked my knee and I told her about Brad’s knife. I really appreciate being at physical therapy because, at this moment, I really felt that it WAS getting better.
I had my stim.and the ice and Kristen taped me up. I told her again that my knee felt less cracked open and I wished it felt MORE less cracked open and we laughed and she agreed that that was the goal. I wasn’t going to be able to come to therapy on Thursday this week because of scheduling conflicts but given that I felt a little better, I wasn’t too worried about it. But them it rained Wednesday night into Thursday morning…
