Week 3- Piece out four legs!

I got to get rid of my crutches this week, and was allowed to start walking. I still didn't have much feeling in my leg so I walked like a mentally challenged baby giraffe. I am glad it at least gave my mom a laugh. At this point I also got to start taking short walks and got to take PBJ out again. PBJ is my baby of almost ten years and she has gotten me through most of my training.

 I still had mainly just stretching, but at least it wasn't all passive anymore. I would like to again say how awesome my therapist was and how blessed I was to have someone that understood I needed to focus on something so that I could continue to heal and work towards my goal. This week I also got to get my stitches out, and I was really excited for some reason, probably too many doctor shows, and the excitement to see the new cool scar I would have. My mom says sometimes I need to be more female but who doesn't think scars and bruises are cool when they are from an awesome surgery or injury?

The removal! 

Before

After

Because the surgery was done orthoscopically it had to heal from the inside up and since Dr. Muller popped my femur out to fix the cartilage and repair the damaged ligaments it had a lot to rewire inside of their. So instead of showing these bad boys off I kept them covered at all times for a couple more weeks. 

I think the biggest mile stone up to this point was walking and getting rid of these.

Week four's mile stone was even bigger.

A verse that really helped during this point- 

"We know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His Purpose." -Romans 8:28
