Knee Update

With 2 weeks down one would have thought I would be able to bend my knee again, wrong. I have been seeing my Physical Therapist but have little to no movement in my knee. I must admit the treatment of my Orthopedic Surgeon and the exercises my PT has assigned have helped tremendously. My OS actually stuck a needle in my leg and ejected most of the extra fluid my knee had accrued. This was an extremely painful procedure, especially for one who absolutely despises needles. Unfortunately, the swelling has returned and will probably have to get more ejected. Last time he took so much out, he made me eat sugar so I would not pass out. I have until next Monday to get the swelling down; lots of ice and anti-inflammatory pills for the next couple of days. Anyways I have to wear my knee immobilizer for the next 3 weeks, this means I wont be able to walk normal for 3 weeks. I will get over it though, lol.
