On PCL Day.....

I lost count. Counting the days are not important. Instead I should make each day count.

Updates? Quads are jello but slowly getting some form. Strength and power are picking up however I still struggle with the en dynamic. Flexibility is a challenge which leads to less mobility. I still cannot reach my ass. During stretching todo nginig pa. My calves tighten.

On a lighter note, I graduated from crutches! I am now dependent on a SINGLE cane! At some instances I can walk without putting any weight on the cane but the limp is still there. I can do steps. I think I've walked too much and there is a small lump starting to form at the back of my knee. Did I push too hard? Ill put hot compress first and hopefully it disappears. I hope it is nothing bad.

Tiis pa. Sikap pa. Malalampasan ko din ito.

On Feeling First Day High

Back to work after a long layoff.

Can't say that it is good to be back though. Bummer.

On PCL Day 14

Today is my second day out other than checkup or rehab. As a thank you I treated bunso and helper for lunch. Target was Bonchon at Galle but ended up at Buffalo Wings and Things. Stupid guard! He shouldn't have allowed vehicles to enter if the parking lot is already full! We spent 14 minutes going around in circles and eventually went out. We had to pay 40 bucks pa. FML.

Anyway, I can walk using 1 stick! But I am more comfortable using 2 sticks. It is faster for me to go  in and out the car. Steps are not as huge as a challenge anymore. Basically, I am getting familiar on how to use the sticks na. Also, I was able to take a couple of steps without support. Question is, am I doing it right? Is my form correct? Am I pushing myself too hard at baka mabigla naman ako? Hahayz. Sana maging ok ang lahat.

On The End?

Coming together 2 years ago was a huge challenge. A group of people from different backgrounds decided to join forces. It was a rough journey and it is still. But there was progress for people who stuck together. Eventually glimpses of success was experienced when the team took the initiative to work together. But where are we right now?

It saddens to know that something you put time and effort on is slowly disintegrating. It takes time, effort and discipline to be part of a team. But it takes more sacrifice to form one and work as one.

Is this the end of the road?

Huwag naman sana. Sana mayroon pa akong maabutan sa panahon na magaling na ako....

On PCL Day 13

Hello Rehab day 3! Same same. Ultrasound, stretch (90 degrees) and tense with hot packs. After was a 2 round walk with a 4-legged cane. Then the flexion machine. My quads are weak. :( Todo nginig even if 0 lang yung flexion. :( 


Improvement seems slow. My legs are soooo weak. I have been stuck downstairs for almost two weeks. I choose not to go out to avoid the hassle. Hirap na hirap na ako. :( What am I to do? I push myself naman. I take time to exercise on my own. But I guess kulang pa e. Should I push myself more? Should I not baby it anymore? Even if there is pain, sige parin?


Here I am again doubting if I did the right thing. Not everyone who tore the PCL don't have it reconstructed. I guess pro athletes are the only ones who do it. So why did I have it reconstructed? Sports is not my source of income and I managed to live four months despite the tear. Did I make the right decision? 


Oh well, tapos na. All I can do is push push push! At least I can walk with one support!. Need to gain back confidence. Need to work on my quads para when I go back on Friday big improvement on the machine. As they say, "No one said it would be easy; we just said it'd be worth it." I pray each night that I see improvements and maka-recover na ako the soonest.
