Jan. 7th, 2015 04:20 pmI asked about limping decals for my car so I can join the fake disabled.
Update from PT today:
Crutches - 1 week.
Walking with brace on - 4 weeks (total or more?)
Fuddling around the house - allowed
Driving my car - success today
Exercises - I have some I'm allowed to do, mostly just getting used to standing on my own weight. The goal right now is keeping range-of-motion, not getting tendinitis in the hip which is common (so no lifting the knee a lot), and trying to improve gait to walk normally-ish.
Drugs - anti-inflammatories, no booze, 3 weeks from last Fri / 2 weeks from Fri
