Moving forward

This morning, we were visited by our Pt, who put me through the mill. The most painful exercise is the straightening one for the knee. Most of the others are no problem. Carol(the Pt) has determined my knee angle to be 103 degrees which is pretty good. The goal is 120 degrees. So far, I have reached 108 degrees on the cpm.

Today, we also visited the surgeon, Dr Dew. They removed the bandage, which had been on for a week with very little leakage. They then removed about half of the staples(about 15) and put short bandages on the rest. They took x-rays of the knee and then their technician used our I-pod to take pictures of the unbandaged knee and the x-rays. Now I have to get with Heidi to get these pictures into the blog along some Halloween pictures. Just think, soon you will have your own pictures of my knee.

He told us we could put full wt on the knee and use crutches rather than the walker and. To come back in a week

So we are doing well so far in our search for a new functional knee.

Tomorrow is my birthday and since I lost the last year, I am considering making it my 70th

What do you think about that?
