2nd PT appointment after surgery (1/21)

So I am caught up as this actually happened today.



I went to PT this afternoon and it was odd to be there after 5 pm.



It was easy to park as nobody was really there. There was nobody there to check me in so I just had to sit and wait for the therapist. I kind of wondered what happens if I have the time wrong and I am late or he forgets about me.



So he eventually came and got me from the lobby. He had me take the immobilizer off and stand up without the crutches and just see how I did...so that's a new exercise to stand up and distribute my weight through both my legs.



Then he asked me if I wanted to ride the bike and I said can I? He smiled and said sure why not. So we went to the bike. I did about 5 minutes on the bike. At first it was ackward and did the hip adjustment to do the full rotation and then it got easier and I just sat there and rode it. It didn't hurt too much unless I tried to go fast so I slowed it down and had fun. I felt like a winner.



I think this made my knee lose and it was easier to do my stretches.



My therapist told me I am doing well and have come a long way. We talked about how I was a wimp at my first therapy appointment and now I am fearless and I am tough and just doing it. That made me feel good. I sometimes hurt at home when I do my exercises to bend my knee and I worry I am not doing them right or helping my healing process.



So after he iced it I was off and we talked about if I should do PT 1 or 2's a week. Right now I am at 1X a week and he said because I am doing better and getting stronger and being aggresive 1X a week is sufficient. Yay me!
