I’m still at ATI. My knee STILL hurts. It’s annoying! Annoying that it STILL hurts! A month and a half later, I still wake up in pain. It’s not the “knee cracked open” feeling but this new, “hike up my pant leg to take the pressure off” isn’t much different. I have SO MUCH respect or Nancy Kerrigan! Once I got to ATI, there was more paperwork to fill out. Once that was finished, my Mom helped me onto the table and Brad began pulling the tape off of my knee.
As he pulled, he noticed that the tape was breaking down my skin. The Kinesio tape is my safety net; it cradles my knee and feels comfortable. But if it’s breaking down my skin…I guess… I explained how and where it still hurt. Nicole was at the next table working on someone else and asked how my knee was feeling after we talked about the World Series as Brad went to get the protractor thing. I told her the annoying part of it STILL hurting and Brad measured my knee bend and it was 119 degrees. It’s getting better but STILL hurts!
Brad worked my quad and IT band hard but it felt good! He put my leg on the foam cushion and the other Brad hooked me up for stim. and asked me about my sweatshirt again. It’s a throwback Atlanta Falcons hoodie. I wear it because the throwback Atlanta emblem is Sean’s school emblem as well. I’m not an Atlanta fan, (LOVE my lions and Matthew Stafford) but rather, I’m a Sean fan!
We talked about fantasy and I wasn’t sure if I was watching the Thursday Night Football game. It was the Falcons and Buccaneers. The other Brad came back over when my stim. was done and buttoned my pant leg up and I was done because I was going, “Tapeless” to give my skin time to rest and heal.
