Thank you so much for your support, everyone. Well, I've gotten back to journaling my food, even if I just put it on the notepad in my phone. For me that is always the first step towards accountability.
Speaking of steps, my knee has been very swollen. I jammed it stepping down an uneven step yesterday and my entire leg swelled up from the knee down. So much so, that my PT almost flipped this morning when he saw the huge bruise on the outside of my leg from the brace. Most of the time that strap is loose, but my leg swelled so much yesterday that the brace left a huge bruise. It is ugly and weird. The good news is that I did 5 minutes on the bike at PT this morning, as well as all of my other exercises. I also stood on the bad leg for 4 reps of 15 seconds, which was very impressive to the PT team. So, moving right along. Hoping to get rid of the brace and/or crutches next Wednesday.
This weekend we are visiting University of SC, University of NC, and East Carolina State. Lots of walking in lots of heat. UGH! But we are all excited. I can't wait until we see a school that "feels" right for Andrew (though he was pretty stinkin' impressed last weekend with American University).
I hope your leg is feeling better soon!
