Today was my 12 week follow up visit with my surgeon. He was pleased with my progress & wont need to see me for 9 months. He asked how I am with stairs & I didn’t know because I only have one step at my house. He suggested I try their stairs in the lobby ( I always take the elevator Out of habit just because I’ve not been able to do stairs other then one step at a time & even then with great difficulty & pain). I went out there & walked down the stairs, 2 flights , just like a normal person with NO pain!!!!! Yesterday’s walk was 3 miles, up & down hills . Today is rainy, so exercise bike only (& mopping my floor). I rarely ever think about my knees anymore & haven’t felt a need to ice them lately.The only weird thing left is the numb areas, but that’s a small price to pay for the ability to walk & go up & down stairs with no pain. I’ve been walking my good dog every day & training my wild child young dog- they both love it. This week is a camping trip & I get to go back to work! Once I’ve gotten a pay check or two,I will be looking at getting a bike again- sold my last one as it was frustrating not to be able to get going as my knees would hurt so bad & id fall over. Have I mentioned how happy I am to have had this done!?!?
