Went to see my OS doc today for my (6) mo. post LKTR follow up. Can't believe it's been six months since I had my left knee replaced. How time flies when you're havin' fun eh?
Anyway, told the doc that my ROM was now 0-137. He was thrilled! Told me that I'd turned the corner or crossed over; and that my new knee would continue to improve for the next 6-12 months.
He also said that I don't need to continue anymore PT.
He encouraged me to continue going to the gym regularily to work on strengthening my left leg and as always ride a bike, be it stationary or the real thing, as often as possible.
I felt really good coming out of my Dr. visit. All my hard work, patience and positive attitude has paid off. I know that I'm NOT all the way home but I'm well on my way. I know that in the final analysis, my new knee will be great!:yes 4:
So to all my BS friends, thank you so much for being there, time & time again to answer all my questions and pick me up when times were tuff.
I'll continue to post and offer whatever encouragement, wisdom, and humor I can to those early on in their journey.
God Bless You All!:prayer1: All my best. JMB
