So today was 6 weeks. I am amazed at how good I feel. My knee is a bit stiff and still somewhat swollen, but already eons better than it was pre-surgery. I’ve been using the silicon scar stuff, and it appears to work. It’s a pain waiting for the gel to dry, though. I almost prefer the strips.
We went out for dinner (again, who accepted that invitation?) tonight, and I was sitting upright for something like 2 1/2 hours and it was fine. I can sit cross-legged on the floor, walk any distance I would want to, and, as of today, use my water rower (a little bit). We’ll see how I feel tomorrow, but right now I feel great.
I go back to work Feb1. I earn virtually all my income between January and April (tax preparer) so I’m happy to be able to get back at it as quickly as I will apparently be able to.
I didn’t intentionally walk at all today, but between Safeway, Trader Joes and out for dinner, have somehow done 4362 steps and 6 flights of stairs.
