K+34 Days
Tomorrow will be 5 weeks post surgery!
Drove back from Cedar City today. Did 2 hours of physical therapy when I got back. PT measured range of motion and I am at 140 degrees today. This was the first goal he gave me and wanted me to get it within two weeks if possible. I made it in 5 days so goal accomplished and time to move on the next goal of 145 degrees within the next two weeks. PT added some additional exercise machines today that made things a little tougher. I am up to 7 different machine exercises now. I have made it a goal when he gives me a set of 30 reps to do 40 if I can. He said this is ok so it gives me motivation to put in the extra effort. My legs are a bit tired tonight but that is a good thing.
1 hour on spin bike as well.
So hopefully only 1 more week of full time crutch use. I have been gradually putting more weight on the left leg as I walk with the crutches. So far not much pain so hopefully walking will go well next week. I am a bit nervous about how those first steps will go but at the same time very much ready to get rid of the crutches. |
