Day 5 Post Op - Monday - 1st day of home PT

9/25/2023

0 Comments

 
Monday, first day of PT at home. I’m ready. Brad shows up and runs me through a series of seated exercises that seem pretty simple. Then we stand up. A simple side leg raise kicks my butt, literally. He reminds me this is not the time to be an over achiever.  Silly man.

Then we move on to squats at the kitchen sink. By this time, he’s got my number and stops me at least 4 inches from where I would have descended to. Then we take my speed racer outside to the driveway. It’s the first time I’d been outside since coming home. The world feels so much bigger right now. I feel very small.
There is quite a bit of swelling tonight around and above the incision. Looks like a small “egg” sticking out back there. Without the brace (especially), it feels very heavy and full. I’ll be bringing this up with my home health nurse in a couple of days.
​
Upside for today…I managed to shave my legs (mostly). Winning!
Picture of my recovery buddy Rex....he can do this all day long.
