I had an appointment with my OS yeasterday, he was really pleased with my progress, be it slower than most of my Kneesal Buddies!! Last time I saw him I was at 97 ROM, now, 1 month on I'm at 102. He actually bent my knee himself to see the ROM and thinks he got it to 100 without really pushing too hard. He said he is sure there is still room for improvement, he got it to well over 110 during the MUA.
He also said the swelling and stiffness I still get after being on my feet or exercise is still quite normal at this stage, (8 months), for some people and can continue for a year or more. I don't have to see him now until November.
By the way Jo, I did ask whether I got a knee cap insert too and he said I did and showed me all the three components I have in my knee. He said my knee cap was too bad not to have given me one. Just hard to see it on the X-Ray.
I have also been off that last 1/8th Percocet for the past 4 or 5 days, so I am really feeling pleased with myself for "kicking the habit" finally.
(((((HUGS)))))))) to you all. Going up to our trailer again this weekend,
hopefully it won't rain for a couple of days, it has been the wettest summer in Toronto on record!! Bit like being back in the UK really.
