Post Surgery Update

Cayla began physical therapy the Monday after surgery. The therapist was very impressed with Cayla and her progress. She has been doing exercises since her injury. Her Dr. told her the PT would be easier if she would go ahead & begin the exercises. She did & it paid off. Instead of 3 times week, she was able to go twice a week. She was able to come out of her brace in late April!!! She was excited! She now goes to therapy once a week!!! She still has to be careful with the knee. It takes every bit of 6 months for the graft to grow together & be strong again. No activity or being around horse play! We told her she now has a knee worth $20,000.00 dollars!!! Unbelievable!!!! One of the most amazing things has been how quick she lost the muscles in that leg. It is quite smaller than the other. I have been told it may be stronger than the good leg after pt. Cayla has gone to a couple of soccer games, but it is just to hard for her to watch so she just has to stay away. She has a new set of golf clubs that she has used a little. We are learning to play and it is not as easy as it looks!!! May is going to be very busy with it being the end of school!!!
