Today at 8:45 am Marissa had her appointment with Dr. Grossfeld. The doctor asked her to stand, and Marissa struggled to even find her balance. It was so funny - actually the doctor even called it pathetic. She finally got her balance to stand, but couldn't walk normal. It wasn't due to pain, she was pain free. She just was so stiff from not using the leg for three weeks. Because Marissa was pain free - She was cleared from no-weight bearing activity on her leg - NO MORE CRUTCHES, but she still isn't allowed to run. Bummer.
The good news is that she is allowed to exercise on the eliptical, exercise bike and she can continue to run and swim in the pool. Marissa and Betsy joined the YMCA and she will work out there every day (except Sunday) to get her cardio back up to speed, her heart rate to 170 and improve her muscular condition in her leg.
