There is no way I would go Christmas shopping this year in the real world. Amazon started their early Black Friday sales today and I bought a couple of presents already.
Went to PT today and was put through my paces. One thing he had me do was to stand between the balance bars and lift the knee high enough so that it was bent 90 degrees and my thigh was parallel with the floor. Hold for two seconds, the put that foot down and lift the other knee and hold for two seconds. Sort of like marching in place in slow motion. Told me to hover my hands over the bars in case I needed steadying. 15 reps. Holy moly. I had to hold on to the bars the whole time. This is not a strenuous exercise, but it was a challenge for me. My flexion was 101 today. Excruciatingly slow progress, but my PT promised me I would get there. 7 weeks out tomorrow. Oh, and 19 weeks out for my other knee. My stamina is increasing. Am going to see Spectre at a local cinema grill this weekend. They have loveseats, chairs, and tables, so I plan to get there early and commandeer a comfy spot where I can put my leg up. Started driving again, and today I managed to get my left leg in the driver's seat of my tiny Toyota Corolla without having to resort to using the handle of my cane to lift it in. Tiny little improvements all the time. I am so thankful to be making progress.
