Had my first visit to the PT last Thursday my extension is 0 and my flexion is at 121 degrees i am walking totally unassisted 75% of the time, swelling is pretty much gone even after a lot of walking or working out.
I have been cleared by the os to get back on my Harley and ride all...
Just under 3 weeks.
Totally off pain meds ice only as needed now
Flexion left 105 and right 111, i can drive my truck no problem now(Stick shift) start going to the gym tomorrow for the bike work.
This has been real hard to go thru but yet it's been easier then i thought it would be.
So i graduated to a part time cane today (short trips) it amazing how tired my legs got what little i was using it, and I'm down to three pain pills a day now!
I have never posted so much on something.
Another good report from PT today 98 degrees flextaion(sp?) in the left and 106 in the right, he said I'm a lot further ahead from where they would expected me to be at in 13 days post op.
The best part of it all is I'm not doing anything other then few moderate exercises while watching TV.
Believe me if i need more i will use it and last night i did, cuz like an idiot yesterday i went groceries shopping and paid a very high price last night ended up taking a break thru pill went to bed with my ice machine, and been supper tired all day.
I need to remember I'm not a young man...
Well had a visit from PT again today he seemed to be impressed with my ROM 94 degrees flextion is pretty much flat at 7 days out i have cut my pain med's in 1/2 with no ell effects (Don't like taking oxycodone).
We will just keep chugging along
Saturday was bad day all the the way around but everything is working as normal now and Sunday was a lot better day, I've started cutting back on pain meds as of this am. We will see how that goes.

My best friend right now is the ice machine but I am starting to get concerned about no bowel movement since Tuesday even though I'm taking helpers on that front.
