Sleeping

Ok. I know it's different for everyone but it seems like two steps forward, one step back for me. Just can't get comfy at night, when I do I wake up In such awful pain it's hard to even move to new spot. 😡

When I get that GOOD deep healing sleep, what a dfference! I can FEEL something good happened in my knee that night!.
This is the hardest time Mary. Work closely with your therapist, go to all your sessions, do your home excerises.Eat healthy with good protein and dairy...you'll find that by taking good care of yourself and finding that healthy balance of excerises and rest you'll be surprised to find yourself experiencing less pain sooner than you thought. But the first 4-5 weeks ARE tough. Hang in there and if you have a walker ( I could not have rehabed at home without it! ) try and be up as much as you can strengthening those quads even some arm push ups!. I found just doing that and housework made for some of the best PT!
Best wishes for life without pain...which IS coming soon.
Blessings and healing, Deb
