A busy active weekend, although much less than a typical Memorial Day that I would have spent hiking some crazy trail in Yosemite if my knee was totally fine.
Instead, I took my daughters window shopping and it was a fun time with fewer people in the shops than I expected.
I walked a lot and my knee was doing fairly well, especially since I had also been quite active the two previous days.
Pain is gone in my knee but some stiffness remains.
My flexion is much improved and my extension too, yet this morning when I settled on the floor mat I am now using instead of my daughter's bed, my left knee was still sticking up.
It looks as if the inflammation is totally gone since my two knees look very much alike, the area that was still showing a little bit of swelling (where the major incision has been made for surgery) is now looking good.
So I wonder if what is keeping me away from full mobility is only the remaining scars tissues.
I have physical therapy tomorrow as well as a massage appointment and I hope that both will increase my progress.
I am torn between moments of great hope and fear.
Returning under the knife is still a possibility today while yesterday I believed it was out of question.
The last four months have been hard on my family and I wish for a full recovery and a sunny summer.
