Update on mdfiregal

[MACK C-85]

Well after three weeks of intensive (4 times a week) physical therapy, Carol's starting to get around the house some without crutches!!! We found out that she messed her knee up a bit too, so they've been working on getting that working better, too.

She returned to work last Friday on light duty, but she stayed home today as her wrist is giving her problems from the constant pressure on the crutches. She has issues with carpel tunnel, so the crutches are aggravating that.

The therapists are saying she's about 3 weeks ahead of where they expect her to be, but she's not happy with how long things are taking.

Thanks for the update Mack. Carol sounds like me, docs have one time frame in their mind and I've got "MY" time frame and they DO NOT match. Plus everyones' tolerance for pain is different and it changes recover time, sometimes greatly. When I get hurt, I want to get over it and back to my regular routine. I remember when I had to have my rotator cup operated on and they told me about the pain and long recovery time, day after the surgery I started walking my hand up a wall until I could reach over my head, did it hurt, well yea it hurt, but I had no time to be wimpy, I needed to get back to work. Same with my back surgery, do within my limits, but push to get back to working. No time to be down with injuries or illness, I have things that need to be done. Tell Carol to keep up the great work, spring is right around the corner
