Recovery

Nine weeks have passed since I was in the wrong place at the wrong time and was run over by a car.  It has been wonderful being back home but my recovery has been slow.  I still use a cane outside of the house but have given it up inside.  My primary care doctor said I shouldn’t drive a car for another four weeks, but I do drive one block to work out.  I work out using a fraction of the weights I used before the accident and it’s still difficult.  But I feel great that I’m doing it.  My orthopedic surgeon compared new x-rays with older ones and said that my knee replacements are not damaged and are still secure.  That’s great news.

Writing has been difficult.  The one blog I did publish didn't sound too good when I read it later.  Typing has been an issue.  My fingers don’t do what my brain wants them to do.  My concussion was worse than I thought, but I’m getting better every day. 

Sometimes, I still don’t believe the accident actually happened.  But then I remember the procedures and pain in the hospital.  Fortunately, memories of the pain are fading.

My job now is to push physical therapy and visualize a complete recovery.
