11 weeks and 2 days after surgery.
I ventured into the truck yard again this morning, and tried on my truck for size. This time I managed to climb up and get in behind the wheel. Seemed to me more room between the wheel and my belly this time!!!! I took it for a few laps round the yard, and got quickly bored of this, so I headed for the gate and the open road. I cruized on down the road to the next town about 25 miles away. This enabled me to work through the gears, get up to speed and see how it felt. It felt pretty good. By the time I got back to the yard, the boss met me with kind of a surprised look on his face. I just told him I wanted to take it for a test drive. He told me I could come back whenever I wanted. I have to meet with the OS next Tuesday and will tell him that I am ready to come back to work. Dispatchers have even given me a choice as to how I want to come back. Local runs, or long hauls. Locals will see me getting in and out more often, but long hauls will see me sitting more. I think I will opt for some local stuff until I build up some more stamina to head on down the line.
Off to PT to play in the pool, and work out the gym equipment a bit. Gotta keep working on that ROM!
I was surprised at all the exercises i could do but because i listned to you gman iwas very careful and did not over do! 
Here,s hoping you have a great 
for the good numbers and no more diabetes. Were you on medication or shots before or just had to watch your diet? Your ROM is doing well. I am stuck and depressed. My brother had both his knees done at once, like many here did, just for that reason. He was afraid if he had one done, he wouldn't want to go through it again. Just like childbirth, at first you swear you will never have another child again, but they are so sweet and so loved, you want another one soon.
