I can bend my knee!
May. 9th, 2006 10:10 amThe good: I don't need surgery, and I'm out of the immobilizer, and I can put as much weight on my leg as I want. (Strained PCL and partial tear to the MCL; both will heal on their own.)
The not-so-good: I'm in a (hinged) knee brace for probably six weeks. It's a vast improvement on the immobilizer, but it's going to get annoying in a hurry, I expect. I think I will be able to go to the rest of the spring LARP season, though I may have to be out of combat -- we'll see how things go.
But, at least I can walk with something closer to a normal gait now. Stairs are still interesting, but more doable than with the immobilizer.
