Started physical therapy on Monday. There was a fellow Achilles Tendon rupture sufferer there. I looked as he walked back and forth in the room with hope. He got the injury on 7/10 - a good 6weeks before I did. And he's doing really well. Walked with a limp but very well indeed. Phil, the physical therapist, said that he is advanced beyond the normal recovery. Give me hope that I can do that as well.
So today was the second day as well. I was the only one there. Phil massaged and stretched my back calf and foot a bit, then I did leg lifts on both legs for a good 20 minutes+. Then ice for 15'. One day at a time...
I bought a lady bug pet pillow to see if I can use it to cushion the left knee as I scoot around the house. My left knee is a big chaffed. I should try to be careful and not doing much to get hurt again.
