So, can the leg bend at the knee by 180 degrees?

Apparently yes! I didn't even wanted that kind of knowledge, but life had other plans for me... And a lot of lemons.
As with my brilliant luck, two weeks ago I sprained my right leg at the knee while I was about to drive away from my yard to work. As a result, I tore my quadriceps tendon and patellar retinaculum, which were sewed back together week ago during almost 2h long surgery with narcosis. As for now, my leg is immobilized and I'm pretty much grounded at home, which makes me crazy and frustrated. I'm pretty much used to work and move, so it's more like a punishment than a forced vacation. I move around the house with the orthopedic crutches' help and I can't even sit longer on chair or walk, because I need to keep my leg lifted up to prevent post-surgery blood clots.
It was only a fckin second as my leg slipped, went under me, and as I fell, I pressed it to the ground with my body mass. I only heard a snap, and then (God bless my phone inside my pocket at that moment and the clear thinking despite the pain) my two brothers-in-law dragged me to the car (because I couldn't stand up from the ground) and they drove me to hospital.
That being said, I'm not currently able to do much even on my PC or laptop, trying to write some texts and just browsing stuff on my small laptop and mobile, because current sitting poses are extremely uncomfortable for a longer activity.
Hopefully my rehabilitation will let me stand on my paws fast enough and go back to working, because I hate that I became useless and depending on my family's help, while I should be the one to help them. Also, I already miss my usual everyday walk routine with Coco.
Keep fingers crossed for me, folks!
Cheers!
