I worked with Luba on Friday. Just as I got on the table, I asked her if she was going to move my kneecap around like Brad did. She said she wouldn’t if I didn’t want her to but I told her to do what has to be done and I will deal with it. She is very impressed that my knee is not swelling very much at all!
She worked primarily on my range of motion. She was able to bend my knee to 86° And I liked the progress that my knee was making! She started kneading my calf just like Brad did and she saw me wince a bit. She asked me if it hurt and I nodded. I asked her why it hurts so much and she said, “You DID just have surgery!”
Oh yeah, I did! I still can’t bear weight on my injured knee so I have to be carried to the bathroom, otherwise I am in a recliner with my feet up. It seems that I am making good progress but this is a very long road! I go back to see Dr. Frush for my first post op appointment and I’ll see what he says. Hopefully he will unlock my brace so I won’t be so restricted and have my leg forced to be straight with my brace that is locked at zero.
