Week 12 Update

Sorry for slacking off the posting.  All is going well now with the exception of noticeable stiffness behind my knee when I go to get up from sitting in a chair.  After a little bit of a stretch it goes away. 

5 more scheduled physical therapy sessions before my next doctor follow up.  Hopefully, that will wrap up the guided therapy.  We will see...

12 week update

Okay, I've been negligent and not posted in a few days. So, here we go.

This wwek I feel like I have hit a wall in my therapy and recovery. My knee and leg have been extremely sore and aching this week. Therapy has been a challenge with me leaving after each session limping again. I know I am progressing and feel that progress but...it's been a tough week.

Oh, and my new most hated exercise....lunge walking.!!! Talk about a challenging and painful exercise!!!! More updates to come

Wow, it's been awhile

Okay, so I am probably losing all of my loyal readers because I haven't posted in awhile...so let's get caught up.

Therapy is now down to the last official 2 weeks. I am still struggling with some of the strengthening "twitch" muscle exercises but am being persistent. By the time I am released in a couple of weeks I hope to have a good solid start on those muscles. Remember I have not used them properly in 19 years.

What I am doing is spinning on my bike every chance I get. The 24 Hours of Booty will be here before I know it and I am shooting for 200 miles this year.
