After
Nice touch from NEB.
I can't believe how GREAT I feel! The procedure Dr. Reilly did to break apart the scare tissue (called manipulation) was so successful that I can't believe it. I feel like this is just too good to be true and at any moment I am going to slip back and not be able to bend again. The last measurement Karen (my wonderful PT) got on my knees before the manipulation were around the high eighties and I was slipping backwards. Today after the procedure,when she measured the bend I was at 115 on my left knee and 112 on my right. Even better than when I was in the operating room and Dr Reilly measured while I was out. This is fantastic!
I am starting outpatient PT at RHCI (the new one in Plymouth) next Tuesday. I should really be able to advance my recovery now that I will have access to equipment to help.
I was told I would be in a lot of pain after the procedure and may not notice anything right away. They told me not to be dicouraged. Well, I was one of those few that it all worked RIGHT AWAY! I have been blessed. Thanks to everyone for always thinking of me. It sure helped!!
As you can see, we were able to soak in some sun after excersiing and Lilly really likes Karen.
I can't tell you how impressed I was with everyone at New England Baptist. They really pay attention and really care. All pateints receive a rose while in NEB. Quite a nice little touch.

I was there yesterday...she kept saying she was ready to Tango and had salsa music on all day:0) It was great seeing the weight of constant pain lifted from your shouldars, Nanc, even for just the day! Gives you hope, right?
