Tomorrow will be two weeks post surgery, yeah!

2 hours of spin bike ROM again today.

I am noticing that I am losing a lot of muscle definition in my left leg. I need to find something I can do within my limits to minimize this if possible. I think one of the hardest parts of this recovery is going to be strengthening my left leg again and learning how to walk and run again.
