Third day on the road and my knee is doing okay. Occasional discomfort bothers me but it is not to the point of pain. What is more difficult is the lack of strength in my leg causing my right leg to work too much and making me a little wobbly.
More than two hours in the car is difficult. My legs get stiff when I step out of my seat. However, it gets easier at each rest stop and only lasts for a minute or so.
I biked for 15 minutes this morning before doing my other exercises and I went for another 20 minutes this afternoon followed by 10 minutes of weight lifting and another 5 minutes of biking.
The road from Utah to Wyoming goes through outstanding American scenery and I'm glad I postponed the decision to go back through my knee if it gets necessary.
As long as I control the inflammation and it has been just fine so far, I think I can manage my life with a weaker knee.
At least for the summer.
