YEAH!!!!
Like a baby claps in her hands when she walks her very first steps, I applaud myself for stepping from one table to another without my leg brace.
The MPT who follows me was back from a week of vacation and we assessed my progress and my set backs.
Definitely neat improvement in the flexion of the knee. I passed by far the 90% that was expected for my check up.
Definitely work needed to improve the extension of the knee which can't be fully extend, perhaps due to tissue scarring.
I had new exercises today, added to the classics. Leg press and stepping on a wood block to imitate the climbing of stairs. Exciting!
The good news is that my MPT confirms that I will leave Dr. Simonian's office (my surgeon)on my two feet, my brace under my arm. I will keep it of course for more work out but I will WALK.
I won't gallop yet, neither will I hike soon. But progress is there and I feel hope flowing through my lungs.
Summer, here I come!
