I've been out of my brace for most of the day!
(Actually, I ended up being out of my brace - all day!!
It's on again now, and I am supposed to be sleeping.)
It still hurts to be moved around, and I cry and scream every time someone moves me. But, my high-low chair has been adapted for me and my needs, so it's sort of like the brace. It keeps my knees in a parted position.
We went to the local pool this morning, so I could stretch my muscles out.
Hydrotherapy is going to be very important for my recovery, and for the rebuilding of my muscles.
We got lots of looks, at the pool... because I cried and cried. I think people were thinking Mum and Dad were being very mean to me, making me swim, even while I was screaming. They probably would have liked it more if Mum and Dad got me out of the water, and took me home. What those people didn't know, was that the swimming was helping me. The swimming was good for me.
I missed the water!
I have been back in the bath, and that is very cool. I am happy there.
(Once my muscles relax and I stop crying!)
I can't wait until my muscles stop hurting.
Kisses xx
