Day 13 Tomorrow is the follow up visit to the doctor to remove the stitches and further advice on the exercises. I have not started any major PT except flexion and ankle movements. The ROM flexion exercises took a setback this week with the continuing fever and the increased pain in the knee. When last week I was happy with the progress and thought that it was good that I had finally got the surgery done and looking at the end results after surgery, this week due to the above issues have been having self doubts and thinking of the need for surgery when everything was going quite okay. Maybe this is just a passing phase and when I am at least able to walk with little pain, these thoughts will not occur. I have also been thinking about the travel back to Dubai in 10-11 days and whether I will be able to do it. Last week I had thought that it would be no problem but this week it just doesn't give confidence. Questions which come to my mind are, am I sleeping in the right position. I only sleep in the sideways position hence putting some stress on the right operated knee. Also the doc had advised against icing but which I have done for a couple of days now. Now waiting for the consultation tomorrow with the doctor and some relaxation or complete disposal of the knee immobilizer brace.
