Three weeks out from knee replacement surgery and I’m making progress. But I didn’t really realize it until talking with a friend yesterday, who asked what’s different between now and February.
When I started ticking
off points, I saw that I may be one week behind the last time, not the
amorphous stretch of time that it feels like. In February I was driving at week
two; this time it’s week three. Not so bad.
I haven’t made
it to the floor yet (just consider what getting on the floor when you can’t fully
bend a knee is like; then consider what getting back upright is like), so no
yoga. Last time I had a lesson at week two, I think. But I’m aiming for it sometime
this week.
I feel like I’m
more tired, but it may be just that I’m not forcing myself to join work
meetings and just letting my body take what it needs from each day.
So today I’m
grateful for having the time to heal, and for being able to take the time to do
it.
