Hey everybody....at PT today I made it 9 1/2 minutes on the bike!!! At first I was scared but I put my mind to it...(plus I bought a "stride cycle"--just pedals and tension). Working on my little semi-bike I did 5 minutes going forward and backwards. I want to celebrate!!! The therapist was impressed too--but the only thing I have trouble with is straightening my leg flat when I stretch it out on the table...(not sure if it ever was straight?!?) but I will work on it. Dealing with the tightness/stiffness as being just a part of recovery. Does anyone know what to use on the incision to soften the skin and where to purchase the item? Someone told me Vitamin E oil but not sure where to buy it. Once again thanks to everyone that has offered advice and words of encouragement!
