Fun Fact: If you've been wondering where I've been - I've been here - Kalamunda Hydrotherapy pool, my most favourite place right now, second only to my garden.
I finally understand why astronauts struggle when they return to Earth. Every time I step out of the hydrotherapy pool, I get a tiny glimpse of it.
For an hour, my body feels almost weightless. My knee moves more freely. I can bend it further. Walking feels easier. Everything is lighter. Then I climb out of the pool... and gravity comes crashing back in.
This hour ( 4 days a week) in the water has become one of my favourite parts of this healing journey. Second only to wandering around my garden watching my flowers grow.
The water lets me move and twist in ways I can't on land. Better circulation, less stiffness, and a reminder of what this knee is capable of.
It's a slow and steady game.
I've spent weeks wondering:
🌸 Will this stiffness ever end?
🌸 Am I doing enough... or too much?
The answer wasn't in pushing harder. It was in trusting myself and in my 100% focused commitment.
🌸 To trust that healing is happening, even on the slow days.
🌸 To trust that rest is part of the process.
Eight weeks ago I had a knee replacement. Hydrotherapy has been a game changer Today I've full knee extension, 122° of bend, a normal walking gait, and every week, every day movement improves and the discomfort lessons.
If you know of knee issues or the recovery from Knee replacement surgery - rehab is intense, a short marathon for long term gain - making the most before scar tissue sets in - the early days are the best to gain the best results. It's aaaa lot.
I'll put all what I've learned into a neat little package to share.
More on this soon.
