I went to the doctor this morning for my two week follow-up and thought I would share what’s going on with you.
They took an x-ray of my knee. It was, apparently, a clearer x-ray than the one they took two weeks ago. So clear that it showed I actually fractured my kneecap in four or five places rather than just in two. That bummed me out. However, the x-ray showed the more important thing that nothing has shifted or is shifting and that I am healing up.
I will be in my brace in a locked rigid position for another four weeks. After four weeks, the brace will be unlocked and allow a range of motion. I will have to keep the brace on for an additional four weeks as I go through therapy.
So, I will be in a brace for at least two more months and have to keep from pushing myself too hard. But the doctor has okayed what I have been doing this week: morning Mass followed by an hour or two in the office before heading back to the house in the afternoon to rest and elevate the leg.
That’s all the news that’s fit to print.
