Day 52: Five weeks post-op. In PT I learned my quads STILL aren't firing. No quads, no walking, no good. So she assigned double quad homework. Dropped JUMBO clothing off at consignment store, due to make $135 profit if everything sells. Other goods went to Salvation Army. Picked up some grass-fed lean ground beef. I'm going to make Taco Lettuce Wraps for dinner. Delish! Today was a good day (Ice Cube's voice).
Day 44: Productive. Independent. Determinded. Today, marks four weeks post-op. Yay! PT this morning. Physical therapist asked if I've been doing my homework. I replied, of course I do my homework. I want this more than YOU. It's the road to MY recovery. She said, she never heard anyone put it like that before. Also, went to the gym - love all my gym folks. They are SO good to me. Down but NEVER out.
Day 30: Hot, sweaty, and slightly out of breath from getting myself some lunch. 26 stairs round-trip is no easy feat for someone in my condition, but as I got to the top of the stairs my heart filled with joy, pride. Although, it's not easy, I CAN go to the kitchen and get something to eat. So not only am I'm celebrating one month from date of accident, two weeks post-op. but also the ability to do for myself.
