9 days post op

Today was my third PT session and it went really well. They were surprised to see me walk in with 1 crutch.

They had me stretch my knee a little both ways and the official measurements are 1 degree extension and 110 degrees flexion. 110!!! That's a big improvement since the 95 of 3 days ago so I am really happy. I guess I am still 1 degree away from full extension but that's fine for now.

I did some single leg leg lifts, side leg lifts, and leg lifts on my stomach. Then got iced down for 10 minutes, quick PT session.

I am almost ready to go crutchless but the doctor said I should be on 2 crutches for 6 weeks and the PTs are finding it kind of weird too, it seems way too long. They can't even start me on harder weight bearing exercises because of the doctor's orders. I will call him Monday and try to get a more aggressive rehab protocol.

That's all for today.
