Hello Everyone!
MEDICAL UPDATE
I'm 3 weeks post-op today! I got my steri-strips finally off & my knee is looking great! I'm recovering really well & PT has been going really good.
I go to PT 3 times a week (Usually Mondays, Wednesdays & Fridays)
My pain has been between 1 and 3 which is WONDERFUL! I have been trying really hard to beg and plead to get my crutches off, but unfortunately I cannot until I go and see my doctor on April 2nd. That will be my 6 week Post-Op visit. My Physical Therapist Breck said that I should be getting my immobilizer off that day & put into a smaller brace. He also said Dr. Guy may decide to take me off one of my crutches. He will also be scheduling me for more PT. I will have 6 more weeks of that, and then I will be going back to the Dr for my 12 Week Post Op visit. I'm unsure of anything after that.
I will also be talking to Dr. Guy about the possibility of a second surgery again this year. I'm not positive if I will be having it this year or not. It all depends on if he wants to do it or not & if so, then I have to talk to my lawyer about that. It will be on my Left knee. The same surgery I had on my right.
I found out the actual name of the surgery I had: Distal Re-alignment Surgery
WORK
Finally after getting all pending orders out the door, I have finally re-opened my etsy shop. I'm adding a few things at a time, so that I don't get overwhelmed & Chris has been so wonderful helping me get everything printed & cut so that I can ship out anything that is ordered right away.
Right now I have a few "Planner stickers" available & some really cute March Address Labels

Chris has been doing well. The new Michaels store opens in May & I'm hoping he can apply for management soon. :)
CHRISTOPHER
Little man has been having a little trouble with my being in bed for 3 weeks, and he is having a really hard time adjusting. I just hope that he will understand later on in life that this was necessary & after I recover I will be able to play with him on the floor, be able to run with him outside & will be able to finally teach him how to ride a bike. It has been a long 3 years like this... and he's not used to Mommy being able to do all the fun things that most mommy's and daddies can do.
This is all for this week

Hey, Mel!
ReplyDeleteI'm a little late with replying here! Hehe.
I am glad that physical therapy is going well and that there have been improvements along the way. And that's great it's three times a week for you.
Sounds great about the new Michaels opening in May. Any word on whether Chris applied for the management position?
Have a good day!!
