Not giving up!
Posted , 6 users are following.
I had posted a week ago regarding my broken patella. With no insurance, pt wasn't a option. I've been doing tons of exercises that I've seen or googled. At least 4-5 times a day.
Last week, I was ready to give up. Support from family and friends has been huge. A very well known pt in my city offered to give me 3 free pt sessions. I start next week. One happy girl right now!
Since last week, I can now stand on both legs with help from my crutches. I can place my foot flat on the floor. Last week my foot laid to the side and I had to bend my good knee slightly to place my other leg down. Also starting today, I've been walking with both legs moving with my crutches. That is a odd thing to do seeing how I haven't used my right leg in 7 weeks.
I'm a little excited and have facetimed everyone I know to show them my progress!!
Maybe there is light at the end of the tunnel!
