Stages of Recovery

Now that I’ve officially finished with physical therapy, I get to move on to rebuilding the strength in my left leg. PT is all about regaining a full range of motion, but doesn’t really take you through the next stages. I now have nice loose muscles–no adhesions–but my left leg is weak. So Tuesday I started strength building. Lunges for the first time in months. Limited-range extensions. Curls. Of course, that means my muscles have been on fire for three days now. Yes, ice helps. No, not much, thank you for asking.

Elly has made a full recovery from her time under the deck, but won’t go into the area where she got stuck. That’s a good thing. The repairs Jay and Scott did to the fence are holding nicely; it’s quite clear the girls can not get out.
