I had a very tough start to the day today. But keep reading, it turns around.
I had mentioned swelling and pain are worst at day 3-4. That is the truth. Add to that a bad night of sleep and going backwards on mobility and I was pretty cranky.
I had a few wonderful visitors today. That usually helps.
Around 2 ish, my physical therapy lady came in. I knew it was going to hurt but I need the therapy. Her goal was to get me sitting up with my feet dangling off of the bed. I was semi doubtful. She is a great coach and doesn't help out until you really try and get stuck. She was going to call it good when I was upright. Not so fast grasshopper! I wanted to go to the chair and we did it! It was monumental. Things are turning around and goals are being met. I am so happy right now.
Tomorrow's goal is to walk with a walker. I think it just might happen! I won't be making laps yet but a few steps will be huge!
Great to end on a great note.
