TKR Mariposa's Journey

[Layla]

My guess is just as yours, Mariposa, weakness, lack of muscle strength and I do believe it can come back with some strengthening exercises. Are there any you’re able to do?

Thank you for your quick reply.

Well, I can swim with a gentle kick and I can do legs raise.. contracting my glutes when lying down and not much else for now, I'm afraid.

I wish I could cycle.. but that one is going to have to wait for a while I'm afraid.

I'll ask my new PT for more next week.

You’re welcome, Mariposa.
I wish I had more to offer. I am happy to hear you can comfortably do some of this exercising. Hopefully sooner than you’re imagining you’ll be able to cycle again.
Please stay in touch and share your progress, we will cheer you on and take joy in your accomplishments right along with you. I hope you have a lovely weekend!

Thanks again @Layla!

If the meniscus' leg improves, I'll be able to do more i think. If not, I'll go through the meniscus repair surgery in July.. that will be tough because there will be still more muscle atrophy and imbalance after it.. but at least there will be light at the end of the long tunnel.. I hope!

I'll post in a few weeks if there is news.
Enjoy your weekend too x
