Kay Kay's rehab

While I was doing what I love - kiteboarding, I injured my knee end of April in Mexico. I went to visit my family in Czech Republic before I had summer job plans in Europe. My knee wasn't feeling strong as the other one so I decide to get that checked. After MRI I found out that I tore my ACL. I was able to get surgery in pretty short time on July 3rd. Right after surgery I wasn't able to lift my leg off the bed and I have been told by doctor that's normal. About 2 weeks after surgery I went get the stitches out and I was concerned about still not being able to lift my leg. Week later I went to see surgeon and he mentioned that he is not sure why my quad muscles are not working, that this is not usually happening in ACL operation. He decided to send me for EMG which is an electrodiagnostic medicine technique for evaluating and recording the electrical activity produced by skeletal muscles and to the rehab center. I have been in rehab center since 30th July. I have many therapy from electrostimulation, physiotherapy, group exercise, pool exercise, laser, gym, massages and some others that I can't find english name for. Luckily most of these treatments are covered by my insurance. Last Wednesday I had EMG and its been confirmed that my nerves that allow me to flex my quad muscles were demaged during surgery. I'm able to feel my whole leg, just not able to flex my thigh which would normally allow you to walk. So at this moment my best friend are my crutches now. Nerves are recovering about 1 mm a day, but I'm staying positive and sending good thoughts so I can do tree pose again. I'm staying in rehab center Beroun till end of month of August for now then coming back here end of September/October.
I'd like to ask my community, yogi, kiteboarders, friends for help to cover the cost of staying in rehab center. All together I'm going to be here 8 weeks and it's about $45 usd a day. 
It's been quiet challenging time but I'm staying positive and learning lots about my body and being patient . Looking forward to walk, do yoga, kite again and simply feel strong on my feet.
