Still having the same issues with sleeping and pain but I think it’s getting better. I say I think cause I’m really not sure. Kev has been putting me in my CPM machine around midnight and I sleep with it til around 4-4:30, and mostly it’s then cause I have to pee. I feel bad I have to wake Kev to put me in it and then take me out but I can’t do it by myself yet and he keeps saying that’s why he’s in the same room with me and it’s no big deal.
Waited around for my PT appointment today cause it was at 2:00. We left the house at 1:00 and got there early but it worked out cause Austin just put me on heat early so by the time it was my appt time I was good to go. He gave me a good 20 minute massage and really worked on everything from my toes to my thigh. Deep tissue and it felt good and he was getting me all loosened up to do some heavy duty exercises. We started with all kinds of bending and straightening and measurements. So far he says I’m looking good, and even from my measurements on Friday there’s been improvement. And Austin said as long as there’s improvement each appointment then I’m on track. After that we did some walking up and back without my walking, there too I’m doing good. After there I was shocked he put me on a bike. I was like there’s no way I can peddle a bike. So he said it’s all good we are just doing half moons, which is where I just push each peddle 1/2 way back and forth. After 1-2 moons I did some backwards peddling still saying there’s no way I could peddle frontways. Well, he had me try and I did it. It was tough but I did it for like 5 minutes. I was shocked, so was Kev cause he was sitting there watching. After the bike I did some leg presses and then balancing, all stuff I did not think I would be doing so soon. Man was I beat. I felt totally accomplished but tired. Once I iced and we were on our way out Kev says all that and no tears today. It was pretty funny. We got home and I iced some more, I was sure I was gonna be sore and tired tonight. The Dukes came over with a yummy dinner and then I pretty much called it a night.
