So I've been going to Physical Therapy 3 times a week.
Things have been going quite well. The object of all this is to get my range of motion back. I can't straighten my leg out and I can't bend it all the way either.
They ultrasound my ligament, stretch me out, and work me over.
I ride the bike.
At the end, they put these electric stimulators on my leg above and below my knee. These are suppose to trick my brain so that I don't feel the pain so much....DOESN'T WORK. So they fill this pillowcase with an ice bag. It is heavy. They lift my heel off the ground and place it on a hard rolled up object, then turn up the stimulators so it's like shock treatments, then place the ice pillow on top.
This is the part where I want to swear and hurt someone.
This is my tape job from yesterday. I think it is one of her finest's. I was really swollen yesterday...even a month later. We figured it was because I tried to do too much the day before (vacuuming). (Dang!?!)
That sun better come out soon!

Oh...it sounds so not fun. Wish I could take it all away. Positive thoughts...
Oh man! Though the tape is beautiful, I am sorry it's not going better. Keep your chin up. It'll get better soon. How about I make some killer brownies or homemade marshmallow/chocolate eggs and bring them over.
Nikki...you know I love you...and your wonderful cooking...baking...
You already did enough. Your soup and bread was delicious!
