still recovering... slowly

as you can see, a lot of bruising was still taking place at three weeks. his ankle was really sore for a while, i'm sure because of the blood pooling there. you couldn't see any resemblance of an ankle bone. he went to physical therapy for the first time a week ago last friday. he was feeling anxious to be able to put a little weight on his foot. they gave him the ok to do so WITH crutches but some of the exercises didn't feel right. when he went back on tues., after walking across the room on one crutch, as well as doing some strength building, and after rich explaining that it "didn't feel right" again - the physical therapist finally looked at his chart (for the 1st time) and realized he'd had him doing the wrong exercises. the therapist hadn't realized they had repaired his meniscus. whoops! the dr. is only speaking through the physical therapist who basically told rich he needs to remain on his crutches another week or two and physical therapy is a no, no for now. Hmmm....
