I bet you'll be feeling better without those staples pulling. I sure did. Every time I bent, those staples pulled. Are you feeling any better with them out?

 

[ATHIKER]

Much. Had another PT session after Dr and it went quite well

 

[sistersinhim]

Great! I hope you have a good night!

 

[ATHIKER]

My knee actually feels like the skin won't stretch. Is that normal

 

[Jockette]

I think it is. Mine felt like that early on. Think of how deep the cut (incision) is. It’s going to take a while to heal all the way through

 

[ATHIKER]

Walked around outside not far but about 2 or 3 hundred feet it's a starting point

 

[ATHIKER]

Will go farther tomorrow. Pain well under control still stiff and a little swollen but I'm feeling optimistic. And actually for a few steps I walked without a limp

 

[sistersinhim]

Getting outside is a wonderful step! Yay!! You'll know tonight or tomorrow if you did too much. I hope not and I hope you can get back out there!

 

[ATHIKER]

My PT just left 0/85

 

[ATHIKER]

That's looking good. He was very happy now icing and elevating for a while

 

[sistersinhim]

 

[ATHIKER]

It's hard to believe how tired I get just extending a little energy. I walked just a couple hundred feet and wanted a nap

 

[Jockette]

Normal, normal, normal!

 

[sistersinhim]

Sleep, my dear, as much as your body wants to!

 

[ATHIKER]

Took another walk today made it about 1/4 mile then took a nap. Will be glad when the swelling is gone

 

[kneeper]

You're doing great.

 

[sistersinhim]

That hiking will be coming before you know it!

 

[ATHIKER]

Happy today. ROM -2/95. Walked about 1/2 mile after PT this morning with a good rom report laying here now ice up and toes above nose.

 

[SherrieT]

Incredible! So happy things are going well for you. And walking a 1/2 mile!! I can't wait until I can do that.
Isn't it exciting that our knees are finally working for us?

 

[sistersinhim]

Great report, ATHIKER!
