    Hey guys, thought I’d let you know how my leg is doing. I had my check up with the surgeon yesterday, he liked thway it was healing, and they took the staples out. Ouch that hurt! I had them in my first surgery, I remember them hurting that bad, oh well, they’re out so I’m happy! it still itches though! He still doesnt want me to put any wreight on it, which I’m not ready for anyway, it still hurts too much for that. But my pain is still around a 5 most of the time, at the most it’s a 6. He took more x-rays too. We were talking to the nurse afterwards and she said that we were lucky he was available to do my surgery when we got there, she said alot of people have mentioned his bedside manner, but he’s a damn good doctor, he doesnt do anything half-assed, or so-so. He wants everything perfect. Which is probably changes his own derssings every time. I go back in 6 weeks. My family doc decreased my cumadine(sp?) so that maybe easier on me. I need to keep on my exercises and I do when I remember. My dad keeps reminding me. He has been through physical therapy enough to know that these exercises work all I have to do is do them!

    And, yes, you MUST do those exercises.  It’ll make it easier on you in the long run.  Hang in there, soon this will all be just a memory.

    I badly sprained knee ligaments a few year back and wow was that painful! Nothing to do there but rest. I so appreciated anyone with leg injuries!
