One step backwards


While in Hospital for knee surgery they use a motion machine to move leg back and forth to regain motion. While using this on me they pushed up again my scrotum and it rubbed me until I had a open sore with pulse coming out. I didn't notice because I didn't feel pain and cleaned myself when taking sponge baths in Hospital. Now I am using triple antibacterial ointment with cepalexin for bacterial. Just a slight setback but we are getting there. Thanks for all the prayers. Love Ya All Wilber

Wilbur ~ im sorry to hear the machine made you rather sore in the nether regions but think positive, that machine is saving you so much effort in training back your knee bend movement lifes a true pain without it

wont be long now before your doing these excersises at home ~ get a piece of stiff board about two foot square to lay on the bed and put your knee against it that way the mattress doesnt absorb your movements and it will put all your energy into the bend excersise

wrap your dressing gown cord around your ankle it makes pulling the knee back so much easier and have that bag of frozen peas handy to cool the metal knee cap, it will get very very warm whilst excercising it ~ good luck

That's a minor problem, but annoying I'm sure!!!

Hope that everything else is going smoothly!
