The extension of my knee is now 135 degrees and the flexion is missing 5 degrees.
It is not perfect but I know I can gain the difference with more work.
My PT was very encouraging and believes that from now on, I must resume regular physical activity as much as I can.
He wants me to talk with the surgeon about the inflammation that is now very little but still present before engaging in anything strenuous.
But this afternoon I took a mile and a half long walk around our local lake and although it is a very easy path, I was in pain before the arthroscopy. Today I was fine and I did everything I could to remind myself to focus on the extension of my leg while keeping the rest of my body as relaxed as possible.
Easier to say than to do, but I managed to enjoy a very nice walk under a beautiful much cooler weather.
Tomorrow is a busy day with several appointments that will keep me in town all day.
I am taking my lunch since I plan to eat outside and my ice in case.
But I am excited to realize that I am so close to being back to normal.
