If I had only one word to describe it would be " PAIN ". The operation went well except for one of my muscles that may have been stiched with the meniscus. The result of that was a LOT of pain. Nothing like I ever imagined feeling. It was so much at times that I could not control my body and I would go into shock shaking. It was a tough one for the first 3 or 4 days.
Now I am feeling a lot less... I do not feel so much pain and I do not feel a part of my leg but time will bring it back hopefully.
Today my big victory was that I was able to walk again... I mean .. you cannot call that a walk but for me it was AMAZING to be able to not use crutches for those 4 or 5 meters. Every day I will improve a bit and in a couple of weeks I will be limp/walking again ...
My mom being here to help has been amazing and her and Milena have been a blessing for me as I still need help for virtually everything. Gladly my rehab is going almost according to the plan and I am very optimistic of a normal life again in a couple of weeks.
I know my blog normally is a lot more upbeat but I guess we all go though ups and downs in life and even though we are very positive about what's to come, this phase is not joyfull. It's something to get through and we will do that with the head up.
I had some bad news this week of a friend that is very sick and this has been a lot bigger for me than my own pains and disconforts. I hope he can find the right path to his life from now on and spend a lot of time with his family and friends.
I will write again as soon as I have news... life's been slow inside an apartment for 9 days.
