On PCL Day 11

Day 2 of rehab. The pain killer did its job and minimized the pain. I believe my knee is slowly improving. Flexion is almost 90 degrees. However, strength is not yet there. Walking without the help of the sticks seems dim for now. My left leg is still floating. I'm baby-ing it. At the back of my mind I am taking care of it. Thus, I compromise the proper way of walking. Knowing me, I have inborn tactics to minimize the pain. Unknowingly I am still afraid to put 100% weight on it. Thus the precaution.

On a positive note, I can sit and stand on my own. No assistance needed other my bff sticks. Next goal is to reach at least 100 degrees flexion and gain confidence walking with one stick nalang. Lets do this!

On PCL Day 10

First day out other than visiting my doctors! Have family lunch at Imperial Palace. Food is not that great considering that they advertised it as Intercontinental. Sobrang layo sa Imperial Palace sa Cebu! Then again, iba naman talaga yun.

Anyway, I think I did fairly well. I was seated at the passenger seat. Less hassle getting in and out of the car. Improving! I think I did well on the steps. Now, if only I can get rid of at least one stick so that I could get my own food and not just stay stuck seated.

Kung alam mo lang
Hangang ngayon, kaw parin
Ang nilalaman

Nakakahiya
Nakaraan na iyon
"Shhh" nalang ako

On PCL Day 8

Tan Gina!

MASAKIT!!!!

First day of rehab sucked!

Just did ultrasound, tense plus hot packs, weights for arms, failed at walking using the cane, painful stretch (foot to back of butt) and leg raises using the foam.

Tan Gina!
