12/20/17: 2-Week Post-Op Appointment

2-Week post-op went well! I saw the PA and my surgeon. They said…

  • Put on these MC Hammer-style paper shorts for your exam. We do this solely for our own entertainment as you will be dropping trou soon to show us your boo-boo. At least they are blue and match your eyes.
  • Your incision looks great.
  • You did *not* ruin your repair by accidentally & involuntarily kicking your own butt three times. But stop doing that.
  • We’ll change your hip brace flexion limit from 30 to 50 degrees.
  • Start PT.
  • You can take ibuprofen again. It will help with soreness after PT and won’t prevent your tendons from healing, but that’s a great question – nice research.
  • You don’t need to sleep in the brace anymore. Use it for walking. And spooning at night if you miss it.
  • Come back in 4 weeks.
  • You have such a nice ass.

Okay a few of those were only in my head. Onward!
