Just a quick note.
My knees actually feel pretty good. There is still some tightness and they are stiff in the morning and after riding in a car, but loosen up with a little walking. It also feels like the ROM will increase. Still working on fitness, which is currently stalled due to hamstring injury, but I walked around an RV show, going up and down stairs for a couple hours. I was exhausted when I got home, but it's progress.
I think most of my frustration and lack of patience has to do with the hamstring injury. Ortho doc prescribed muscle relaxers, as needed, but I've needed them daily for the past 5 days. I talked to my Primary who set me up for PT for the hamstring. I'm a bit frustrated due to the time it has taken to get the extra help, but am excited that more can be done to make it better.
I have another white water rafting trip planned on a less intense river in 5 months, so I'm really hoping the new round of PT will get me ready for it. I need something to train for, keeps me young.
