Currently...
It's been over three months since the surgery.
I had the follow up visit with the surgeon on Monday and got an all clear for any thing I'd like to do.
We discussed how stiff it still feels, but I was reminded that it may take up to a year to get over that sensation.
Flexibility is still improving. When seated with the lower leg pointed straight down is a 90 degree angle. The goal is to be able to pull my leg back to 120 degrees, I'm currently at 106 degrees.
I still go in to physical therapy and am trying to exercise at home, but I'm not consistent with the home exercise. Oh well, I'll keep trying.
On another note, Sunday is Mother's Day. Justin has been gone for 15 1/2 years now. I miss him so much. Still painful and I hate all of the commercials.Hubs will either cook dinner or take me out for Sunday, I'm good with either.
