Thank you
@Abbylayla for such a great message of support. It's wonderful to hear from someone who is a little ahead of me in recovery, but not too far ahead that they have forgotten what 10 weeks feels like.
Overall, I realize things are getting better. I know I can do more now than I could a few ago. Even with ROM improvement being minimal, I can sleep better, get around better, and feel more like myself.
I see my surgeon in a couple of weeks, and between now and then will just be patient without whatever progress my body chooses to make. I am pursuing a 'middle of the road' path... still going to PT at least once a week, but not overdoing it. I try to bend my knee as much as possible during normal movement... walking around, doing things in the house, etc.
I went out on Sunday, and it was one of my longest outings. Had to ride in a car 45 minutes each way, and then sit in regular chairs for more than an hour (no recliner or way to elevate). I was able to do it. But as soon as I got home it was ice and elevation. I wouldn't have been able to do that a few weeks ago.
Continued good healing to you, and thank you
