Knee surgery plus 3 days (K+3).
Took bandages off for first time today. 3 very small cuts, two below knee and one on top inside of knee. Very small incisions about the width of a pencil. Surprised but happy to see minimal swelling at this point. Tonight I did 30 minutes on the spin bike but it was not really spinning. It was very slow range of motion (ROM) work. Just barely moving the pedals around for 30 minutes to keep decent ROM. The knee was tight but not much pain to speak of which I assume is a good sign. I am suppossed to get up to at least 4 hours per day of spinning as soon as I can. As long as it does not hurt then I assume I am ok. I will inquire more with the doctor later this week. I hate the crutches but if all goes well I should be off of them sometime during the Olympics this summer.
Thanks again for the support FRB. Run some more miles for me! |
