I had physical therapy today and although my pain has not gotten any better, Cam (my physical therapist) says my ROM (range of motion) seems to be slowly improving on my left side. Good news! I'd just love for the pain to be improving as well. We decided that one of my small goals for before the BIG surgery is to be off of crutches for at least a week! That might sound silly but I have been on crutches since March 9th and with this next surgery I will be on them for about 3 months so it would be nice to walk for a little in between!
Incision!!
My incision keeps leaking fluids!!! GROSS! My physical therapist says it doesn't look like it is infected but if I start to get the chills, a fever, or start to throw up I should call him immediately or go to the ER.
