Therapy went well today, I think. Started with 10 minutes on the recumbent bike and then the therapist went to work. We did nothing but stretches today with a little work with one of those bands. We did hamstring, quad, and calf stretches first then using an exercise ball did some different work on my quad:
- exercise ball directly behind quad against the wall and straightening my knee back into the ball
- using the ball for balance while doing wall squats
After that we moved to the miniature set of stairs and did calf and more quad work. Once done with those 5 different little deals she had me lay down and did patella movements (most uncomfortable...). As we finished, she strongly recommended that I call the doctor because the incision area where they harvested the hamstring tendons was red, very puffy, and warmer than the rest of my leg.....possible infection. So, I called the doctor and am waiting to hear back from the office. If I have not heard anything by the a.m. I will definitely call back in and get some resolution.
All in all, I think it is going well. I am determined to be a good PT patient and keep doing my "homework".
