Anyone else use their Arc on themselves? Four weeks post surgery and I’m not where I’d hoped I’d be. I know you’d usually put the device on the outside of the canon bone but I’m hoping to deliver directly to the op site and also, I don’t have a canon bone 🫣

It’s been 12 weeks and four days since my kneecap ended up on the wrong side of my leg. A long wait, then surgery and FINALLY I have been able to sit on my beautiful Biba. Just in walk, without stirrups and my knee well padded, but still; I’m back on! A long journey ahead to get enough flexibility in my knee to be able to ride with a stirrup and to go up a gait, but the first step is behind me, and there’s light at the end of the tunnel, and once again in my smile. 💖
