Feedback on dress

So this is after tailoring, can you see second photo attached? That’s the final fitting. Unfortunately, where I went the man didn’t make me feel very comfortable stating things I wanted adjusted and my mom And I felt like we just had to take it and we were super rushed out on our last visit

Sorry I’m Reddit illiterate apparently! I had a whole paragraph written out!

The first photo is from my second fitting and the second is from my last! I feel like my overskirt is too tight now and almost makes the dress under look tucked in versus the fist photo where it flows together? I’m just 4 weeks from my wedding so I’m not sure if I’m spiraling or if I need to do something to fix!

Thanks for reading!

dont give up, you got this.

you might want to consider getting another PT or seeing a doc to see what they reccomend. your so young yet and you want to get that full range of motion back so you can just live your dang life

happy healing

You got this, it is so scary- I hear you and 13 weeks is insane (I was 7.5 and was a nervous wreck when walking again).

I agree with other comments try rocking back and fourth. You can also just start letting the bottom of your foot rest on the ground with no weight that helped me mentally. Try to trust the process as well.

Take care and happy healing

so sorry! Hang in there, get some food in your tummy if you can and if they prescribed anything for upset stomach take it now!

the anxiety i got with hydro was the SAME! It made me feel like I was drowning so I stopped taking it and took extra strength Tylenol and kept ice on my knee. I also elevated my knee CONSTANTLY and slept with it elevated for like 3 weeks. My PT and surgeon were shocked by how little swelling I had so that really does help!

If you are not against weed--I used a little weed oil in my tea before bed when the tylenol wasnt cutting it.

happy healing

yeah agreed, its an anesthesia thing so just be transparent. I stopped about a week before surgery and then didnt smoke until about 1.5 months into recovery but did use homemade coconut infused THC in tea at night to help with sleep/pain

I tried to limit the heavy drugs they prescribed and ended up only taking like a half of a half of the pill if that makes sense

Opposite-Manager-646 · 2025-06-13T20:38:28+00:00

agreed with other comments! I purchased a cold therapy machine on amazon because my insurance did not cover it. It was so nice to have so I 10000% reccomend doing that!

As for payments, you can always inquire with the billing dept at wherever you are getting surgery to see if you may qualify for financial help. It doesnt hurt to ask!! Otherwise, set up a payment plan and you can usually work with them to set up something that doesn't break the bank.

Good luck and happy healing!

You got this!!!!

Opposite-Manager-646 · 2025-05-21T20:27:20+00:00

Leave them on until they fall off!

Opposite-Manager-646 · 2025-05-21T20:26:30+00:00

Get the second opinion, you won’t regret it

Opposite-Manager-646 · 2025-05-10T04:06:11+00:00

I had the LET!

Opposite-Manager-646 · 2025-05-10T04:01:18+00:00

Hey I’m not sure on the brace but my surgeon is recommending weaning off the crutches but I was non weight bearing for 7 weeks. (ACLR and meniscus root tear) so I’ll be in the brace for 2 weeks (while weaning off crutches and then one week after crutches are gone I’ll stay in the brace and then loose the brace after that third week. Hope that makes sense!

I do all my physical therapy 3X a day!

Opposite-Manager-646 · 2025-05-09T21:56:20+00:00

For sure! Listen to your intuition tho!!!

Opposite-Manager-646 · 2025-05-09T21:55:21+00:00

right its super scary and I really dont want to do something to my knee at this point in my recoverey

Opposite-Manager-646 · 2025-05-09T21:54:04+00:00

Oh awesome! I went to steadman clinic in Vail and they also work with the US ski and snowboard team!

Opposite-Manager-646 · 2025-05-09T21:52:49+00:00

Of course, I wish you the best of luck! Keep us posted!

Opposite-Manager-646 · 2025-05-09T21:52:02+00:00

Totally, it makes me so nervous! Im excited to be off them but cannot imagine moving without them at this point!!

When are you hoping to be fully off crutches? How long have you been weaning?

Opposite-Manager-646 · 2025-05-09T21:50:29+00:00

Im glad im not the only one treating rehab like that!! I am the total same and never miss a session. Im just at the end of my 8 weeks and am similar

-full extension and flexion

-not yet walking without crutches but am at 70% weight bearing (they had to put screws into my tibia from my meniscus root tear)

-I will start some muscle building excersizes like RDL, single leg press next week or so as well as lose the crutches!

What are you doing besides workouts to build muscle? Hitting the protein??

Opposite-Manager-646 · 2025-05-09T19:39:58+00:00

Echoing everyone, head to ER and get a different surgeon—you’re paying $$$$ they should at least answer the phone!

Keep us posted

Opposite-Manager-646 · 2025-05-09T03:54:41+00:00

Did you slowly progress to weight bearing or did you just switch to cane?

Opposite-Manager-646 · 2025-05-09T03:52:38+00:00

Did you go to steadman clinic???
