Very happy with progress today, thanks for reminding me of the anniversary! Back to sports, played two table tennis league matches so far, still not of course moving as smoothly as I'd want but way ahead of my timeline originally for competitive play. Step count still rising, without me particularly trying so I think that just shows healing is bopping along and I feel a lot better. I've started back on some weight training as well, which is going well, I am being very conservative with the volume and the weights. Still of course need to remember to not overdo, that is as it were my achilles heel....or achilles knee ? ... for eg my session for today was
5 min cycling @130w,
deadlift 3 x6 x 75kg,
8 per leg sit to stand, no assistance left leg, small right
2x 10 walking lunges, no weight as tired,
3 x10 x10kg db bench, flat.
2 x 10 per leg glute bridge
2 x 40 sec planks
2 x 10 leg swing forward
2 x 10 leg swing side
shoulder mobility w bar x 20
Overall, knee no 2 has gone better than knee no 1, presumably as the supporting muscles and ligaments were less unstable than the older injured knee. The 4 months has gone by quickly, and looking forward to the 9-12 month mark when I'll hopefully not think about it ever. Right now I'm still aware its new and healing.
