2 days post surgery. Big day today as I got to take a shower. While it is great to shower, it is by far the scariest thing to do early on in rehab. I have to get in the shower with the brace on then take the brace off. Then put it back on again before I get out of the shower. I have zero strength in the quad right now and if I let my knee buckle I will tear the repair. Needless to say I have a death grip on the grab bars in the shower to support my left leg. Not a relaxing shower but nice to be clean.
Exercises today - 3 walks and same quad sets, hip abduction and hip extension and some light core work. I also ride the stationary bike with one leg. I will have to take a picture so you can see my set up. I rode for 40 minutes today. I can't get my heart rate very high with just one leg but it is better than nothing. I hope to get to the gym this week.
