Guest guest Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 Well, I had a check up today to see how I am progressing and to see if I will need to have my cartiladge relocated surgically. I am happy to say that if it were a test I would have passed with flying colors! I've gone from a 12mm opening at 9 weeks to 33 at 11 weeks. All of this is due to the physical therapy and using the Thera- bite. I've been really conscienceous about it, a trait that is not usually attributed to me! the doctors believe that the cartiladge will find it's way back to the proper location eventually if things keep up the way they are. The pain has decreased in frequency and intensity. I can handle it with Ibuprofen, I really only had one bad episode of pain this week. I go back in a month for another check up. And the best news of all is I had my first steak!! A small and very tender one but it was heaven. Looks like I am back on track for a normal recovery! Thanks to all for listening and the support.
