This last week of April is an important week for me since Friday marks my knee surgery anniversary.
Where am I, three months later?
I can bike (still stationary bike) for 30 minutes long as many times I want each day. I cover 6 miles each time. So in average I do 12 miles a day on the bike.
I started the elliptical on Friday and will use it more each time I go to therapy.
I do my set of leg exercises much better and I have added a set of 25 to each.
The flexion of my knee is more than 115 degrees, I'm sure but I will be measured tomorrow.
The extension is coming along and I when I do my hamstrings exercises I feel the pull in the back of my thigh and my knee gets stretched at the same time.
I have built more resistance when I do my squat exercises and regained some balance when I stand on my injured leg.
I still use a pillow under my injured leg at night. It helps me to sleep well although some occasional pain or discomfort wakes me up at least twice each night. Usually I fall back to sleep which is why I feel in good shape despite my injury.
I have kept the same weight which is strange considering the difference in my lifestyle. I passed from extra active to non active to medium active.
I have canceled a trip to France early June and am considering going in August instead.
It will be so good to be back for a week or two. So now I have an extra incentive to help me achieve my goal for the coming week.
