Good physical therapy session today. The last two nights haven't been that great. I kept waking up if I slept on my side and since I hate sleeping on my back, I played the role of a crepe.
But as soon as I wake up, the pain fades and the day is pretty good. I do my exercises with diligence but without obsession.
My PT insists for balance between stretching and flexing the leg. Today he didn't want to measure my progress but I know I am better. I complained about the pain at night and he told me that many muscles are waking up now that my knee is free of scar tissues.
The pain I feel on the right of my knee when I press with my finger is where the hamstring is attached. The quad is finally working so this area gets tight too but I know that muscle pain is actually good. So hooray!
My knee is still bruised but the swelling is almost totally gone and the tissues are soft and it looks like finally hope is more than a word.
Although I'm not yet the woman I was, I have faith again and the dream of hiking seems tonight closer than it has ever been in the last seven months.
