I'm 3 wks. post today and had a great day!!!

[Doug]

I made it to three weeks and had some great milestones. (for me anyway).
I rode the torture bike for 30 mins. I was able to take the seat lower than ever. Not ready for the Tour de France yet but working on it!
I practiced walking w/o a cane and was able to do so w/o a limp.
My leg straightens to 0. My bend is at 110.
I only took one pain pill this morning however due to the above, I am about to grab a couple.
Finally, I took a bubble bath!!!!! Yep, got my big butt in the tub and dern near disappeared from sight in the bubbles. I guess I have a tendency to over do everything.
I'll be thinking of you all tonight when we are all up limping around.
Have a good one.

Congratulations!

Don't worry about the pills. My PT told me to take them as I need them---that is what they are there for. At three weeks, I still had some major discomfort at times---and I am sure that after riding for 30 mnutes (WOW!) you will feel it this evening.

Great job walking W/O a cane...you are climbing that ladder and will be moving ahead with your progress!

Well done!

WOW! You are doing great! I am so excited for you. It feels so good to be able to do simple things like take a bath, doesn't it? I never appreciated those little things before. And 30 minutes is awesome. I had a hard time doing that when I was fine! I'm so proud and pleased for you!
