I was told by the surgeon not to go in the pool since my scar wasn't completely healed so I just went in to above my knee. When I laid out in the sun I covered my scars with bandaids. I was also told I should take 325mg of aspirin 2x/day over the course of the trip and to wear my compression socks on the plane since there is still a chance of getting a blood clot.
I had therapy today and my PT said they should put in orders for patients to go to Vegas after surgery for rehab purposes because I had better range of motion than I did before I left hahaha. We did my normal stretches and the bike. I got to go on a reformer today.
It's a Pilates machine that's like a leg press. I did great on it with no problems. She even added some ankle weights when I did my hamstring curls. She also said I could start doing some pool therapy and she mentioned squats in the pool. I heard squats and my heart skipped a beat 😜 Can't wait to do some real exercises!!! In do time....
Today was the 1st day I drove. I was told at my follow up with the surgeon that around Week 3 I could start driving but I was too scared and not ready to try. I drove to therapy by myself and ended up driving all over town today. I didn't use my crutch at all today. I'm going to completely ween myself off of it. It felt good to have some normalcy again.
