I'm actually doing pretty good under the circumstances. I can put weight on it now but not with confidence and it doesn't really hurt that much most of the time. I do have my moments though where I end up in such severe pain I don't want to to even think but that's why humans made painkillers. lol. The swelling has gone down markedly and if I'm really careful I can even walk short distances without crutches.
If only the damn thing would straighten out.
The biggest obstacle on the road to independence right now is the fact that my knee does not want to fully straighten out. Its not a matter of pain either, I physically can not straighten my knee without considerable effort. Its the last nagging effect of my injury that for some reason just refuses to go away. I also can't bend it all the way either so I'm wondering if the two problems are related. I have an appointment next week with a specialist so we'll see what they say.
Under the circumstances though I'm doing quite well. Thanks for all the love and support, you've been great!
