Today I have the two weeks post surgery visit with Dr. gorgeous. My numbers from the physical therapist visit this morning were good. I have less than 5 degrees on the straight which is good toward heading towards zero and I have 104 on the bend which is 4° better than yesterday. They were pleased with my numbers. They were also pleased with the way the leg looked.
But the best thing was he said that in a few days I can take a shower! We tend to take these little things for granted. But for the last two weeks I have been washing my hair when it's convenient for Frank, not myself. I'm not complaining mind you because he actually does a pretty good job at it, but it's one of those things that you give up that's a personal thing. You give up a lot of personal things. Like the doors in your bathroom because your walker won't fit through unless the door is off!
I should've started out this post with "what are some things that you don't know about me?"
Just think ... the next time you see Dr. Gorgeous –does the poor man know you/we call him that?–you will be freshly SHOWERED and shampooed!
