Prayers are requested for my wife and myself to guide our full recovery!
Here I am back from my 4 week post-op visit. I am 77 and slipped in the yard and ruptured my right Quad Tendon on Sept. 11. The Doc said he thought I was doing Great. Increased my Leg load to 40 #. He also opened my Brace to 50 Degrees - Cheer-Cheer! He said not to put that 40# load on the Leg with the Leg bent - suggested I lock the Brace when I walk to protect the repair. I will continue Quad Sets, Toe curls and Active Straight Leg lifts and 1 x per week At Home PT for the next 4 weeks.
My loving wife and Super Caregiver tripped over MY WHEEL CHAIR and fractured a Hip Bone. She had a Minimally Invasive Smith- Nephew Joint replacement today. The surgery went well and she is doing wonderfully. I am now the Caregiver and with the help of out-of-town family members we will do great. My wife will be able to get around near normal and drive in three weeks.
God Bless my wife, myself, members of this Forum and the Healthcare Professionals in this great Country of America.
Healing to all!
Done.
Just lean against each other when you get into a big fight. Between the two of you, you have a couple of functioning arms. You’ll die laughing...
Seriously, prayers are up....
excrement occurs...but seriously, get well.
You guys are still falling for each other I see. ;) Land exercises can be torture. Do you have a pool nearby you can use? Much easier to do and you can do more of them.
Prayers for healing to this beautiful couple. Double healing!
Prayers on their way. For both your healing and keeping your sense of humor.
Sending my thoughts and prayers for healing.
