Third Rehab physical therapy this morning. I am being discharged to outpatient physical therapy tomorrow, I get to go home!!
I got mobile faster than expected, and have less pain than expected, but it will still be a long slow process. Doctor ordered 12 weeks of outpatient PT starting Monday.
Not real mobile, I mostly use a walker, can walk without it but too shaky to feel comfortable. Physical therapist has me walking without the walker, but only when he was there. He also let me walk for a while with a cane. Climbed about 10 steps today, they hurt and took a lot of support, but I can climb up and down stairs, if I have to, I do not have to at home.
Had a bit of a pain relapse last night, had to take an oxycodone, first in a few days. Probably my fault, I did too much exercise with the legs yesterday, 2 rounds of PT and then walked, very slowly, for about 45 min, too much I think. The physical therapist warned me to slow down, I will don't want that again. Fine now, managing pain with Tylenol today. Sure be nice to make an escape from here.
