Survived my first out-patient physical therapy session on Tuesday. I want in with trepidation, but as I’m wont to do, my worry was for nothing.
I came out a little sore but encouraged. The therapist said I was doing well and that he didn’t think I’d have any trouble getting back full range of motion well within a couple of months… maybe sooner.
He told me that I had a “solid” 100-degree bend in my knee. The ultimate goal is 120-degrees. Think being able to kick back and hit your butt, or do squats
I told the therapist that I wanted to be able to ride my bike by the time my therapy sessions were over. He said that was a doable goal.
My current goal is to get strong and steady enough to walk half a mile. Right now, I mostly make laps up and down my hallway and trek to the mailbox.
This knee replacement thing may work out okay after all.
