Today is 4 pop (fourth postoperative day) and also monday

so Happy Monday everyone! :)

 

I have ever since thursday, when I had my surgery, become so

much more mobilized for every day. This morning I was for the first

time able to cross my legs and by that able to put on my sock. Last

time when I had my knee surgery (which was a far more complicated

surgery) it took about a month or two before I was able to cross my legs,

that's why I'm so excited about being able already on 4 pop to cross my

legs!

 

 

When you get knee surgery, latest by then you'll notice how much you're limited,

as the knee is doing lots of work actually for your body. But for me it was today a total

happiness to be able to cross my leg and by that being able to put on a sock without

greater problems and most of all without any pain. That's also something that's good 

this time, because I'm allowed to move freely according to my pain, so I'm aware that

nothing should break or get dislocated. As soon as I get the stitches removed I'll go

straight to the Public swimming pools for some water running and then after some time

I'll be able to also go back to Spinning, which I'm waiting a lot for.

 

I'm actively trying to walk in the stairs to get my flexibility in my knee and that is also

something that's improving every day, I have also been out for short walks with our

little dog who is extremely happy to go for extra rounds every day. In between I'm using

a lot of ice and keeping my foot in a high position. Then the facts are also that, your knee

will never become better or more flexible unless your work actively for it. It's completely

natural that it feels stiff and soar in the beginning but if you working on it, it will eventually

get better. So, if anyone out there also had a knee surgery, don't give up, it might be tough

in the  beginning but it will get better. Just remember to use enough pain killers and ICE (it

pays off to have a couple of ice bags already loaded in your freezer). :)
