Second PT session

Aug 12, 2009 23:53

An hour and a half of PT today (my second session). Went from 60 degrees flex of knee to 78. Brace now set to 60 degrees. Can put all 180 lbs on my bad knee. Walking slightly faster. My PT gave me a bunch of exercises to do at home that look all the world like a "buns of steel" advertisement. Still have fluid in and around the knee area and my calf is still VERY bruised (PT says is due to where he cut out my hamstring tendons at the top of the calf muscles). Tackled lots of machines today to get the knee moving. Typically started as "HOLY CRAP that hurts" and ended as "well that doesn't feel that bad."

Afterwords I had a very nice, relaxing dinner with a coworker.

On to the next PT session on Friday!
