I had my first session of PT on Tuesday and did the exercises at home on Wednesday. And today I spent the whole day in bed, because everything from my tailbone down to the back of my knee hurt like a mother f*cker.
Ankle pumps, quad sets, calf raises, side-lying abduction, and passive knee flexion. I’ve been doing the pumps and quad sets from day 1 PO. The other 3 were new (3 weeks PO). I’ll talk to my PT tomorrow about how many hours/days should be between certain exercises to allow for recovery. And I know there will be trail & error and a lot of trying to listen to my body.
But you know – and bear with me if this is too woo-woo for you – right now it just feels like there is a massive cluster-f*ck of energy all tied up in my upper leg. I don’t really want to do knee bends & quad squeezes. I want someone to put their hands on my leg and break up the tension with a good blast of…I dunno what. Electricity? Streams of light? Pink hearts, yellow moons, and blue diamonds..? …Anyone feel me? Reiki?
