My goodness - that's quite the robotic device!! Have you gotten it yet? I have never seen such a thing, will be watching to see how it goes.

To Praise, my PT will push me, but not until the very end after I have stretched it to the limit and give my permission to go for it. She knows when/how I holler that it is enough. I am all about daily improvement. However, I don't have her most of the time, even though she is the one in charge. I have another guy, who is more gentle, and although he will push with my consent, he will also massage it, and knows when to back off for a day. No "scolding" from him. Don't let your PT treat you like a child. It's your knee, your recovery, and your sleepless nights, if she pushes too much. Prayer heals.

I had a few back slides along the way, disappointing to me, but my PT always reminded me that "the road to recovery is NOT a straight line". That advice always helped get me through and moving forward again. Even if you are not ready for the 10K this summer, keep focused. I had hiking Grand Canyon (23 miles in 3 days) as my 1 year goal. I just did it this past weekend, coming out of the canyon on my 20 month anniversary. I did go to Europe at 11 weeks for work and in hindsight that was clearly too soon for me. Good luck...you're doing the right things and will get there!
