It has been almost a week and I can honestly say I am mobile. I am still having a slumber party with Robert, Izzy, and Maeby in the den, but I am now able to walk without crutches for small amounts of time. I will have to say I am almost done with the pain medicine which is always a sad and scary thing, but I am excited that we are on the last day of meds because I can finally move about without nausea and the feeling that I am about to fall over.
Now it is time for rehab. I never thought it would be so difficult to bend a knee, but I am sure learning a lesson of humility! My knee has gotten to 90 degrees which is great for just the first two days of rehab so I am excited for that and I can't wait to bend it all the way back. If anyone has acl stories they want to share or any tidbits that might help me, please let me know! Ok, now I am off to start my new hobby-making a quilt out of all my favorite t-shirts!! We shall see how it all works out, but I am very excited to get it started! Check out some funny videos of my visit to atlanta and robert's birthday. At least I am keeping myself busy!!
oh! PS-im not celebrating tearing my acl(just wanted to be a part of the toast, haha! and I wasnt picking my nose! haha!) i guess i am not very afraid of making a fool of myself!

nice dancing
Hey Cat glad you are moving around
better. Karen and I have been praying for you. What a blow last night in loosing Abby Wambach. I know that was tough for her, the last game before the Olympics.
I have really enjoyed your blog.. Love your dogs, I will have to send you pictures of our two.
Anyway keep getting better and keep us updated.
Miss Cat, You know your body better than any doctor or therapist. Listen to it. Push it a little. Just pay attention to what it's telling you. You'll know when its ready to go or not. I have all the confidence in the world that you'll make a full recovery and be back on the pitch in no time.
Blessings,
Lisa
Hey Cat, I'm jsut a fan but I too have gone through the rehabbing the knee and it's not the most fun a girl can have! One thing I've found to help though is not to leave it in one position for too long...keep it moving! Even if it's only bending it a little and straightening it as much as you can. It helps a TON! Good luck with the rest of your rehab!
