Monday
Rode a horse for the first time in 10 months. It was not much of a ride. My boot was very uncomfortable around the scare. Riding was ok for all of 15 minutes.
Any updates about getting that leg fixed the right way? Where do you live thatās so cold? Iām in the Midwest of the US and itās still in the 90s F here.
I am waiting to see the first orthopedist, in hope that he will want to remove the plate. Depending when that happen, I will decided on before or after for the private stem cell/prp treatment.
In normal Quebec hospital a 6 weeks wait to see a specialist is FAST, none urgent is many months. If you think is need seeing faster it mean a trip to the ER. I am not going to camp in the ER yet. The hospital I need to go to has been over loaded and the wait time is over 16 hours to see a doctor!
I left work very early and slept 3 hours.
I am taking a few days off the gym for now. And found some stronger meds I had left post surgery.
Physio day.
I was in pain going in, way too much tension for needles.
Still sore getting out, started to feel ok around 7 ish pm. So I skipped my meds as they make me sluggish/sleepy/foggy.
I will try to make it in the gym sunday, if my energy comes back.
Sunday, dragged my ass to the gym.
I still feel like I ate a pack of razor blade and I blow my nose every 5 minutes.
I did a modified work out just to get moving a bit.
I got the shivers after the my cool down, I was not permitted to star a fire. (it is only 12oC out side)
So I soaked in the tub in hope to get rid of the shivers.
On the good side my leg is ok.
Monday, election day, some massive change comingā¦
Still coughing a lot
10 minutes of slow easy bike
modified day 1 with some leg work
Cold and rain on the way, my knee feel like the fluid is getting thick in there but not really painful. The plate and screws are very uncomfortable and painful with the change of weather.
15 days and I will see my surgeon.
I had a bad day starting with a empty cardboard box brushing on the scare which set it off its rockers. Any time my pants touch my skin the pain went near max. My whole lower leg was nut by the end of the day. I even loosen my boots to the point I could just pull them off but the left one felt tight on my foot.
I try to tell myself that it is just nerve pain and it is in my head but it does not seem to help. Pressure, firm warm pressure is soothing to some degree.
I feel like the bottom screw is about to explode the bone or something like that. If I was told that there is no way the plate could come off, I think I would think or removing the leg. I am at that point with the pain and lack of sleep.
