My knee has been doing really good. I’ve been able to put some weight on it with crutches. I’ve been doing my knee exercises, although I’m having to slowly work my way up to the recommended length of time. Yesterday, I was able to go to the grocery store for a bit, which counts as exercise to me. I called my orthopaedics office this morning and made a follow-up appointment with Dr. Lee on November 10 at 9:10am. My mom has been helping me to remove my dressings everyday, and there’s surgical tape over the incision. Under the tape, we think it’s staples, but we aren’t sure; and we’re not supposed to remove the surgical tape (for sanitary reasons). The follow-up visit will probably be to remove the staples, and to schedule physical therapy. I also need to get a note from them stating that I’ll be out of work for 3-4 months, depending on my recovery time.
That’s about all that’s happened in a day’s span. Thanks for everyone’s support!
