I think I finally understand what my physical therapist has been asking me for days now.
I have found my gait. Not the one I had before. Not yet. But he insisted that if I took smaller steps, I would loose my limp. And I think he is right. Mu usual stride is bigger and it blocked me to fully decompose the different stages of a smooth gait.
I did 30 minutes of biking and my leg raise and bridges exercises and it felt easy and good. I iced my knee twice in anticipation of a car drive to my favorite little cafe down in Fresno where I'll meet my husband for lunch. Then I have a writing meeting with one of my friends.
And the best way to end a nice day will be an hour therapeutic massage. I expect some improvement and I can't wait for my next physical therapy.
I am still stiff early morning but less today than usual. Yesterday I met one of my acquaintances and she mentioned my limping. I was offended since I know it is common before reaching three months post surgery.
Maybe it was good though since it has pushed me to noticeable progress.
