OK, so seven weeks ago I completely ruptured my patellar tendon in my left knee. This tendon is responsible for extending your lower leg. When it tears, you cannot walk... much like the Achilles tendon. Well, being the over achiever I am, mine was pretty much destroyed playing backyard football.
So, I have had my leg locked in extension unable to move for quite some time. My Orthopedic Surgeon (OS) says that I need to take my time with this injury since it is rare and hard to recover from. So, it looks like I will be in this brace for at least another five weeks. I don't mind that so much as just not being able to bend my leg.
It has been a real challenge. Only being able to sit... watching so much TV that I actually contemplated ordering Gorilla Glue, Sham-WOW, Snuggie, etc. Walking only on crutches-no weight bearing. Waling on crutches-partial weight bearing. Walking with the walker. Walking with the cane, Using the cane in extreme circumstances. Only being able to sponge bathe. Yuck... I am sure I had an unpleasant aroma... note sarcasm.
At any rate, I want to thank my wonderful bride, Tracy, for taking care of me the last few weeks. I know I can be handful. This woman has the most patience, love, and understanding that a man can ask for in a wife. I really don't know what I would have done with out her. She just stepped right up and started getting things done... I guess that is why she is such a great Mother as well.
For now the plan is to go back to the OS next Friday. Hopefully, he will allow me to increase my range of motion (ROM) during my exercises to 60 and then 75 degrees. Then maybe I can start to walk with the brace unlocked some.
In all humbleness, I am just grateful to God to have a leg and that I can move without assistance for the most part. I have taken the stance that God is good and worthy to be worshipped and praised regardless of my situation. I just try to focus on the positive things and remember that life is more than the physical realm.
