I went to physical therapy for an evaluation by Chrystel on October 9. She thinks my right knee is improving, and I agree it is. I can often walk without a cane and without limping. Walking without limping when I am not using a cane takes a great deal of focus. I try to go without my cane around the house, but sometimes I still need it, even here. Since I am having cataract surgery on 3/22 and 4/5, if all goes well on 3/22, and I would be restricted as to some of the exercises I have been doing, I am on a hiatus from physical therapy until 4/20. Chrystel gave me three exercises to do twice a day from now until then. She said I can continue with the others if I want, but these three are what she wants me to do regularly. She said if I have improved a great deal by 4/20, she would like to see me every two weeks or once a month for a while to make sure I continue to do well.
I saw Dr. Bradshaw yesterday, and he said he will always approve physical therapy when the PT and the patient thinks that it is helping. I won't be seeing Dr. Bradshaw again since my knee seems to be making progress. However, he said anytime I want to come in and see him, I am welcome to do so. I am so glad he did my hip replacements and that he is there if I need him.
One week from today is the first anniversary of Lynne54, Timo50, and my THRs done on March 23. My how time flies when one is having fun!
