Physical Therapy, Session 2
"If everyone pushed towards recovery the way you do, I'd be out of a job."
Thus said the phys therapist. Sorry, Jay. You're a real nice guy and I like you and all, but the brace and crutches are a right pain in the ass. I've been told to ditch the brace, keep the crutches, and move slow and careful. Today's therapy session included one of the gym-style bicycles for 15 minutes... which caused more havoc with my right HIP than with the stupid knee.
On a related note: that blasted ice pack is freakin COLD.
I got to ride in the front seat of a vehicle for the first time since I blew out the knee. The view is much nicer, and I feel almost human. I'm stiff and a bit sore at the moment; come evening I'll know what the full impact of today's session is. All things considered, I'm pleased with the progress... and if things continue even half as well, I'll be able to actually drive -myself- to the appointments hopefully by next week's end.
And now I'm going to sit and watch Alien vs. Predator. I'll be back in a bit.
