Five weeks have passed since I got the surgery.

Judging from the X-ray, I can see new bones are being made around the injury. I'm making good progress after the operation.

I can put my one third weight(about 15kg) on my broken leg now, so I will walk on my cruches a little easier than before. At least, I won't get blisters on my hands anymore!

And one more thing to be written. It's very important.
I'm now able to sit on my heels though I can't keep the upper part of my body straight because of the pain on my right thigh.
This means I can bend my knee alomost perfectly!

All doctors I told about it were surprised to know that, saying, "Very few people can sit on their heels at this time of the 4th or 5th week after surgery."

The reason why this fact is so important is that muscles easily become stiff and that it's sometimes difficult for the people who've got surgery to bend joints.

I was no exception.

The next day after the surgery, the first thing I had to do was to sit on a wheelchair as a part of rehabilitation.
At first, I couldn't move my broken leg at all because it was so heavy like lead, and when I tried to bend my knee, I felt great pain on my thigh! It was so terrible that I cried out!

We need to bend our knees at least 90 degrees to sit on a chair. And when we come to think about daily life, (for me, that is to be discharged from hospital,) doctors said we needed to bend 130 degrees.

Since then, it had became my goal to bend my knee at least 130 degrees.
I'd worked by myself on the bed and cleared 140 degrees ten days later.


This was the machine which helped bend my knee. I could bend 90 degrees as hard as possible at that time.


Now I can work out as rehab when I visit the hospital.
