Well, day 1 without the brace has come and gone. I have been trying to follow doctor's orders by putting weight on my leg as much as possible while standing up. I have taken a few small steps without the crutches and found that to be more of mind over matter. As noted in yesterday's post, I have not had a great deal of confidence in my left knee in years. I was never a great athlete but enjoyed playing until the knee started giving out. That was when I started cycling. Now, maybe, I can start playing raquetball again, play softball again, join the adult basketball league.....NOT. Raquetball definitely...the other two we'll see.
As for physical therapy, I start next Tuesday. In the interim I was directed to keep using the CPM and to increase the flex as much as I can stand so that is what I will do.
