Andy's ACL Reconstruction Adventure

Day 5

Filed under: Uncategorized — Andy @ 9:49 am

Sorry about the lack of an update last night.  I was pretty tired and decided to just go right to bed.  Yesterday was pretty similar to Day 4.  I was still pretty sore and doing my exercises twice a day was a bit of a painful experience.

I did manage to start walking a little bit yesterday, with the assistance of the crutches.  I didn’t feel any pain when I placed all of my weight on my left leg, which was a bit of a surprise to me.  It’s still a slow process, and it takes me a long time to walk anywhere, but being able to do that seemed pretty significant to me.

I’m still trying to increase the time between taking pain pills, and I am only taking 1 pill every 6 hours now.  I’m hoping I can stop taking those pills pretty soon, because I hate taking medicine.

I’m really looking forward to going to my next physical therapy session on Monday so I can see how I’m progressing.
