I had knee surgery last year and was on crutches/could put no weight at all on my left leg for 6 weeks. My T's office is on the second floor of an old house with a dentist office on the ground floor, so no possibility for changing. So... we figured out that my climbing up and down on my butt was the safest for me. The first time, she went to the bottom of the stairs to meet me and took my crutches. I moved slowly up the stairs and it was really embarrassing and I got quite sweaty. Then I got the top and we had no idea how to get me up... She found a chair and I stood up backward and then fell butt first into the chair. She and I turned it around some so that I could get up and then crutch to her office. I was exhausted, sweaty, and humbled... Then we ended a little early so that we'd have time to get my down the stairs before her next client came. In her haste, she forgot to hug me (which hurt me, but I didn't point out as I was really worried about getting to my car and absolutely exhausted). Down was easier on my butt, but just the whole experience was rough and threw me off for the therapy. It got a little better, particularly as my crutching arms got stronger and I got more used to the situation, but arriving into her office into that state and worrying toward the end about getting down the stairs did throw me off. Having gone through this, if my T did have the option for a first floor office I would have taken it! Hope your knee heals soon and that you're getting lots of help! Food preparation and moving the food to the table was the hardest for me.
