ACL Surgery Post Op Days 17 - 21

It's been awhile, but it feel like not many changes day to day, but I realize there actually have been a lot.

At my 3 PT sessions this week, I rode the bike 10 minutes each time and actually rode it--full rotations--with no problems. Zero resistance, but still.

Jodi also has me walk completely unlocked in between stations at PT.

I moved onto stairs at PT. While unlocked I go up and down concentrating on bending my knee. I still go one leg up at a time, but with bending.

I also moved onto the balance board which is a work out for me to keep balanced!

At home I can walk with it at 20 degrees and I concentrate on trying to bend the knee. I am up and about for longer periods also. I sat out for Halloween last night for over an hour with my knee bent. It got sore but great to be out.

And I've found that doing heel slides during the bath is helpful as my muscles are warm.

Still no driving, but my lovely husband got me to Starbucks this morning!
