Well, my knee felt really good with this stim on yesterday but what I was afraid of happened! As I had it on my leg for a while, I asked Sean to peel back the top of my sock to see if my leg was swollen. It was! He told me that, “Your leg looks like a baseball bat!” I called my Mom and she came over to fix it.
She had a REALLY hard time putting my sock back on my leg. Putting compression socks on isn’t an easy task but my Mom handles it quite nicely. However, because my leg was so swollen, it was very difficult to put the sock back on. I was nervous how my leg would feel throughout the night.
Well, my leg did not hurt while I slept but shortly after I awoke, when I was drinking my teas, my knee began to hurt again. This time, my Mom put the pads on upside down so the cord was facing upward, she put my compression sock on my right leg over the pads and she fed the wire up through my pants and out at my waist. Once I was situated in my motorized chair, I was able to turn it on.
It feels nice but still leads me to have many questions. What I was afraid of yesterday happened last night, my leg swelled up. I’m hoping with my Mom and me brainstorming, we will have fixed that problem but I guess time will tell.
