for the longest time, i was “stiff leg” – not crooked leg. but after meeting with my surgeon earlier this week and a little dose of removing my head from my you-know-what, i’m making huge strides. (perhaps strides isn’t exactly the right word…)
i can now get in and out of bed, i can put on my clothes and socks, i can sit at the kitchen table (sort of), i can lift my leg in the air when i’m both sitting and lying down. this is actually huge for me because right after surgery, i couldn’t even elevate my foot an inch.
ok, sure, i still can’t bend my knee 90 degrees, but i’m sooooooo close.
