This was another PT day with Chris. He was telling me he could release me today as I have achieved all the goals set by the doctor. That is being able to achieve and maintain over a period of days a flex of >120 degrees and 0 degrees extension. That has been done both days this week. I am to only do the exercises 3 days a week with stretching and resting a day in between. Increased walking is to be done gradually.
Today Hubby needed me to assist with the trouble shooting of Son's fridge. Basically I pressed a button a couple of times. Another time I allowed myself to be sprayed in order for him to locate the water leak. I did not get too wet. With all the activity at PT, going back and forth to the apartment three times, and going to a restaurant for lunch, 1.25 miles is clocked on my Fitbit Zip. An additional mile on the reciprocal bike and my knee is asking for another round of ice tonight.
I was able to get one small item off the to do list, a shoe issue. The PT person had me remove the shoes I planned to take. "These are worn too much", he said. Instead of just cleaning those shoes which are 3 1/2 years old, I ordered new shoes. That sounds simple enough but sitting with a laptop balanced so it is not resting on my knee is a little challenging. The knee Hubby accidentally bumped a couple of times today. Yep, time to say goodnight and get some ice on this knee. After all it is only 38 days out from major knee surgery......
