1) the pain of the rehab
2) the frustration I knew I would experience with a long rehab
I am 3 1/2 weeks post rehab...and experiencing all of the above. My quad muscle is extremely weak. I am slowly weening myself from the brace. I take it off while at home. I am driving again (uncomfortably) but it is progress. I need to keep a positive attitude and know it will come and have patience with my body.
One thing that this experience has reminded me of is being thankful for my health. Even the smallest things like the ease of getting dressed we take for granted sometimes. It's definitely been an eye opener. I may not be the most fit or in shape person, but I don't have any thing holding me back from being healthy once this leg gets stronger.
