May 6th, 2011

I am now more than half way through my medicine and I think my knee is losing some of its stiffness.
I am aching from other parts of my body like below the hips, the calves and my left quadriceps is still weak and tight.
I went to physical therapy this morning and my program had been revised. Most exercises related to strength have been cut to spare the knee.
I am still biking on the up right bike, using the elliptical and doing my table exercises with ankle weight.
At the physical exam, my PT found my knee softer which I think is true.
I bought a pair of shorts to encourage my work-out. My legs are not what they used to be and it is sad to realize that the results of a lifetime of physical activities can be wiped out in a few months.
But I know that it works also in the other side so I will now concentrate on more leg work to make sure I look okay in my new pair of shorts.
