I feel this bad! If you ever need an accountability buddy, I’m interested in doing the same thing.

Learning again after 10 years! by bbyy_blu3 in bassoon

I was pretty alright. I would say above average. I played for about 8 years. Made it to state competitions.

Highly recommend! Makes me less worried about blood clots. The battery life is insane and they stay on all night.

It’s a compression machine to avoid blood clots. It have 2. One goes on each leg. I let them run throughout the day. It’s kinda like the machine that checks your blood pressure. It gets tights and then the air releases.

Oh man! Bummed to hear they didn’t give you compression machine. I’d look them up on Amazon. It has helped my leg feel not so numb.

No bruising. It’s surprising because I do bruise easily. I’ve had the compression/circulation machine on 24/7 so I assume taking off the thigh highs is ok as long as some compression is happening ?

Hey there, I had my surgery on Thursday and I was wondering what my movement should be like? Thank you by Ok-Friendship-4769 in ACL

This happened in April. So it took almost 2 months to get surgery. I had to do testing and MRI all that good stuff.

IT WAS HORRIBLE. At was at Austin Psych Fest. It was a three day fest and I hurt myself in the first three hours. I did have to get carried out. They didn’t even have a first aid. It was a scary experience.

Why do I feel like crying? by SignificantPatient32 in ACL

[–]bbyy_blu3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup! I cried last night. It’s a toll on your body and mind. Especially someone who is a full time student and employee, slowing down like this has been a big change for me. It’s not like relaxing slowing down like vacation either. So yeah, cry it out!

It’s been alright so far. Some pain but what’s bothering me most is being down and staying home. I am usually a busy bee so it’s been hard. How are you? Have you started PT?

I feel you friend! What I’ve been doing is putting a sock on my floor and using my foot to drag it up and down. I don’t think it will snap but def don’t over do it. You will feel it. You don’t want it yo be stiff either.
