Some of you may have seen this in one of my posts in the support forum but I'll indulge you with the details anyway.
I'm Ember, my husband is a semi-truck driver and on the 25th of May the brakes in the truck failed while we were going down hill, we hit the other semi-truck stopped at a red light at the bottom of the hill at 45mph.
I was thankfully sleeping in the back of the semi-truck on impact (the 3000lb engine came in and completely crushed in the passenger side, where I would have been if I was awake). I was thrown from the bed and my knee just didn't look quite right, I had completely dislocated it and then re-located it when I tried standing up (according to the EMT) OUCH!
Anyway, in addition to completely severing my MCL and ACL, I completely severed my medial meniscus and my meniscus was also completely ejected from my knee joint and is now somewhere to the left of my joint. (don't ask, even the orthopedic specialist had never seen that before)
Anyway, I've been on my quite restrictive very low-calorie diet (due to not being able to exercise) for a month now... Have I made progress, WHO KNOWS?!? I don't have a scale lol.
I also have no exercise equipment, weights, resistance bands etc.
I won't be able to get in for surgery for a while as the insurance on the truck refuses to cover me, despite not being able to walk, and I have to wait for open enrollment in my hubb's insurance to get on it, and then more waiting.
Anyone else dieting with lack of movement? lol
