My knee is definitely better looking now that I have finished the Methylprednisolone (what a mouth full!). My husband and I drove the kids to school together and we had breakfast at Mimi's cafe.
I wore the dress my daughter gave me for Mother's Day and although it is not a very short dress,the hem is just above the knees. I was a little self conscious but I only noticed people looking at my dress and not at my...knee!
I have physical therapy tomorrow and I am impatient to get a feedback from my PT. I'd like him to measure my progress since I am sure the flexion is far better. The extension could be better but has improved. The overall appearance of my knee is good so I am hoping for faster results now.
As a matter of fact, I have returned to a more normal range of movements.
I vacuumed my room today and was able to bend to get dust under my bed. I can squat much lower than I did last week. I also do some exercises on a mat and stand up easily when I am finished.
I feel some stretching pain at night. It wakes me up several times but I fall right back to sleep. It didn't happen as long as I was taking the medicine but returned last night.
The weather couldn't be more gorgeous here and although I miss my daily walks, I am full of hope for a great summer away from home.
