PT at 2:00 pm today. I am proud to announce that my knee bends better but disappointed to walk like a wimp. I am reassured when the PT tells me that for a mysterious reason, my brace has been locked. That explains my difficulties to walk!
I have a new exercise to perform besides the classics that I master like a pro. Standing in front of a mirror, I must imitate with my injured leg the natural movement of my right leg when I walk. Easy to say, challenging to do. Since I walk (fifteen months old said my mom), I never thought of what my legs were doing when they walk. Who does? Well, now it counts and believe me, most things we take for granted are the most difficult to do when injured.
The good news is that when the flexion of my knee is measured, I have reached 90%. I suppose I should be happy but I hoped for more. The effort to reach that meager magic number was far greater. Darn!
