8.24.17 Weakness

Larry was done working for the day so it was just me and Luba. We were not going to do the stands today. That really made me feel good because the day before, my knee popped out of its socket.  It popped out like it did so many times just before my surgery. This hurt and really scared me! It scared me because it made me feel  like I needed another surgery because it hurt so badly! I totally can attest to the fact that recovery from knee surgery is very difficult!   I never want to do it again!

I told Luba about my knee popping out and how much it scared me.  It made me feel better that I wasn’t going to stand so instead, Luba  rubbed my knee and I did my right leg lifts. I could only left a little bit and then my leg pooped out and Luba had to lift it the rest of the way.  I asked Luba why it was doing this, and she told me it was, ” weakness.”

I thought about that as I was hooked up for ice and stim.  I didn’t like hearing it, but I knew it was true. It frustrates me that  my leg was still weak but I am working so hard to get it straight the back! It stinks that this “weakness” persists!
