Progress is on its way but I still have a way to go. Some days are better than others and I have come to accept that I will be living with a weaker knee for a while. Yet every day something good usually happens. Either more agility to climb over the railing of my porch as I water my plants, more strength when I use the elliptical or less pain when I do my exercises.
My physical therapist is happy with my progress and is positive that I will be using my knee as I did before. Some day. Eventually.
I agree with him but it's hard to understand why some mornings my knee feels almost like normal and others it is still a little crooked and stiff. I still have scar tissues to get rid of and I balance stretching and strengthening, flexions and extensions to make sure I keep my knee mobile.
I'm telling you, it is time consuming and patience testing.
I still miss my knee but when I look down and see how shapely it became, I know I came a long way.
