Marianne's leg update

Here is the update on my leg. Yesterday at therapy I was able to bend it to 115 degrees on my own and Charles (my therapist) got it to 125 degrees. I only have 3 more visits to get it at least 5 degrees more. Here is a picture of how it is healing.



I rub cocoa butter on it each morning and night and the scars are fading very nicely. It is still sore to walk on but that will probably take a couple more months. Here is my current help I use to walk...only 1 crutch.




And here is the best purchase we ever made.



The bike has been great in helping me get my leg bending in the mornings. I ride it throughout the day for about 1 1/2 hours total. It is so great.

I am so glad to be done with the wheelchair, walker, and elevated toilet seat. I'm starting to feel like a normal person again.
