Two week follow!
Today I went to my two week follow up appointment with Dr. Petre. It really was the best doctors appointment I have ever been to. The first thing the nurse did was take out my two stitches and place steri strips on my two incisions. Next, I was taken to get two xrays taken, which the doctor said looked great. Dr. Petre also went through the pictures and the video he took from my surgery, which I will try to put up on this blog! He said that I had great movement and was progressing very well, however I should not attempt to progress faster than I have been in physical therapy. The first 6 weeks of physical therapy are critical in making sure that scar tissue forms in the correct way and doesn't form in a way that would require further surgery. Dr. Petre did lift a few restrictions. I no longer have to wear my hip brace or the TED stockings, I can now sit at 90 degrees, and I can go in the pool as long as I keep my incisions dry with waterproof bandages. All in all a great day!
