When I got to ATI, I told Brad that my legs felt stumpy. Stumpy because I have not been wearing my compression socks because it is so warm and the craziness that’s going on with the weather right now my legs have swelled. They haven’t hurt more than they already hurt but it was a bit uncomfortable. I had ankle socks on and had cankles in full effect
He put my right leg in traction and that felt a little bit better. He bent my right knee as he rubs the inside of it out and I could feel the tightness in my calves because my legs were swollen. He told me that my tone wasn’t so bad and it helped a lot him bending my leg. He bent my left leg as well. I did leg lifts on both legs. I’m kind of pleased that my right leg is starting to do better lifting my foot.
It still was quite difficult and I tired out after raising my right leg three sets of eight for a total of 24 times. He had me rest a minute as Larry got ready to come over to help us with the stands. Both of them situated me so I was sitting on the table ready to stand. Brad stands in front of me and Larry is behind me. Brad position to my feet and reminded me that I need to bend with my nose above my toes before I stand.
I stood up strong! I could feel my eyes light up and Brad smiled as I looked at him and told him it was as if I knew what I was doing! It felt really good! My second down was strong as well. My third and fourth downs were not very good but Brad offered a 5th down to me. I agreed to take it and told him there was some pass interference on that fourth down so I had to replay it.
I stood up strong but just for a few seconds and then my knees started to buckle. As I sat down, I told Brad that the touchdown was good but I completely biffed the end zone celebration. Larry and Brad laughed and I was excited to get my ice. My legs are still a felt stumpy and I’m sure they looked it but my knee felt good after the stim and ice. I thought about Barwis and how much better I would have been doing if I was still there and I didn’t have or need surgery and my knee did not hurt. I only thought about that for a little while because it kind of stinks just like it stinks when my legs are stumpy!
