Recovery Day #3 - Monday, October 27, 2008

10/27/2008 09:02:00 PM

My first day of physio began today. I will be going for physio everyday for the next two weeks thanks to the chauffering of my dad. My therapist, Jason, said it looked pretty good and did some massage. He also did some light laser on it in various places to help speed up the recovery by breaking down the scar tissue and keeping things moving. Not much activity today there.

It was also my first day at home alone without my trusty nurse Julie. I definitely missed her constantly bringing me food and drinks and emptying my bucket :-) But I guess it helped challenge me to get around a bit more on my own since they say that I can put my full weight on my leg if I wish, just no twisting or severe straightening. It's still a little difficult to use the bathroom with one leg permanently in a splint but I've figured it out. I won't go into details here.

I constructed my own little home gym with a yoga mat, exercise bands, ankle weight and hours of pumping music. It's nothing that anyone would pay $50 a month for, but it should get the job done for now.

Look out Arnahld!
