Ups and downs of my knee are part of my life for too long now. I cannot wait for my appointment and see what has to be done. I want to regain more strength and although I know I have, I am impatient to be myself again.
I have been very diligent with my exercises and I'd like to know why the results don't match the time and energy spent toward the improvement of my left knee.
On a positive note, my daughter told me that the back of my legs and my buttocks look great. No doubt due to the series of bridges and leg raises I do every day.
Yesterday we went to Boothbay Harbor, a lovely small town on the coast of Maine. The streets are hilly and once more walking up is great for me. Walking down is more challenging as if my leg wasn't strong enough. In reality I know it is because my knee can't fully extend.
Today is another perfect day on the lake and I will be doing more exercises in the water. I find the water very soothing on my leg. The coast is rocky so I have to be careful but it is amazing to see how more flexible the leg is when dipped in the lake water.
I will see my surgeon on August 10 but return to physical therapy sooner. I am eager to check my results and plan my future.
