I genuinely found myself wondering today whether I should continue the blog or not. I’ve found myself much more fragile than I’m comfortable with. Talked to counselor about it and I believe it’s expected. Trauma, pain, covid, starting a new business, daughter off to college…it’s a lot.
I remember when I was about 25 I tore my first ACL. I immediately had surgery and was told not to walk for 7 days. But I wanted to walk. I was told if I walked too early that the healing would slow because the knee is “traumatized” after surgery and needs to heal. And if I stepped off a step wrong, I could re-tear the ACL.
The knee is “fragile”….and if I didn’t let the knee fully heal before using it, it would take even longer to heal. Time will heal it. But during that time, I need to do what I did for the knee during the healing.
Wear a brace.
The brace on the knee served as a stabilizing factor because the knee was unstable. It protected the knee.
Where’s my brace…what is my brace…
