the café

PT cleared me to walk today, mostly, which is a celebration 

yesterday was 4 weeks post-op, so I'm ahead of schedule

shouldn't walk MUCH yet, but she said if there's no pain then the crutches would most likely teach me bad habits

still probably two more weeks before i'm cleared to "go for a walk" but this is... a moment 🥲

CONSISTENCY! PHYSIO!

I can see my quad muscle disappearing. my brace needed to be tightened today, and there's a clear, visible difference between them now. 

this used to be the larger of my legs, and by a dramatic margin at a point in time last year (ascending ropes was usually a one legged affair).  hopefully easier to keep them even now that one's been reset. 😜

Highly recommend acupuncture to help with recovery post-op too! Hope you continue to heal 🩵

I went through a similar ish thing following a broken arm, so I know the struggle! 

consistency is key, and congrats on all the progress so far 💕

Congrats! Good PT is a god send!

Amazed at the bodies capacity for healing given effort and time.
