Well, it has officially been 4 weeks since surgery. I'm having less pain and am able to get out a little more now. I am still locked in the brace, but spend most of the day with the brace off, doing my PT exercises. Last week my therapist doubled my exercises because I'm not where he wants me to be. I am supposed to be at 90 degrees, but I was at 60. So I've been working extra hard to get my flexion back! I don't like being below average. Pre-op PT was easy- I did the bare minimum and my knee responded very well. But this time around my knee is being stubborn and making me work extra hard. But I'm in PT twice a week now, so I will hopefully make some big improvements in the next few days and weeks. It's been warm and sunny here, which makes being gimpy so difficult. All I could think about was what great cycling weather is was, or how much I wanted to go hiking. It was very hard. But I was able to sit outside in the sun with Lucy and work on my knee brace tan.
