Hi fellow ACI-ers!!
I'm am feeling really good today!! Went to spin this morning and am riding this endorphin high!!
Wanted to provide a couple updates!!
The first is I had x-rays done on that dr. appt on 4/10 and he couldn't see much bone growing. In fact, as I was leaving that day he reminded me to think positive thoughts. It kind of amused me......my technical orthopedic surgeon telling me to think positive thoughts. At this point in the game......I'm thinking positive thoughts, carrying a rabbits foots, and got everything crossed! lol!
The second update........only someone who's had this type of injury or surgery will understand.....but I rode STANDING up in spin class....TWICE last week. Yes I know, sounds like small potatoes for a person with a healthy knee.......but for me this was some serious stuff!! In fact, my husband and I went riding outside yesterday and I stood up for a tiny bit too. It's seriously harder to stand and ride outside, and my back and knee were seriously sore last night. However, I felt good this morning, went to mega-spin, and rode STANDING up!! YEAH....I haven't been able to do this since before the injury.....almost 2 years ago!!
The last update........I am actually ALMOST able to get down the stairs.....you know, that whole step down thing. It's kind of a funny thing for people who've never had our type of injury or surgery.......I mean just walk down the stairs.......it is like the last frontier!! However, it is quite a feat......my PT would be proud.......I am proud.......it's been a long time!! :)
I've got another dr. appt in another 1 1/2 weeks to take more xrays (seems excessive I know) to see if that bone is growing. I FEEL like it's growing.......now looking for some proof!!
Talk to you all then.........
