This coming Monday marks 5 weeks since my accident.\u00a0 I will see the doctor who performed my surgery that afternoon.\u00a0 I hope to get some specific direction on strength building and exercise.<\/p>\n
My knee continues to grow stronger.\u00a0 I notice differences every day.\u00a0 I was instructed to leave the brace set at 30\u00ba and I have done so.\u00a0 My leg can now flex that full amount with no pain.\u00a0 That was not true even a week ago.\u00a0 The 30\u00ba angle has allowed me to sit normally in a chair which has been great.\u00a0 Last week I tried again to get into the driver’s seat of a car.\u00a0 I managed to figure out how, but it was painful and involved me manually lifting my leg with my hand.\u00a0 This morning I tried again and was able to slide in with minimal difficulty and no assistance from my hand.\u00a0 I can drive again if I need to!\u00a0 Yesterday I started walking cautiously with the brace unlocked (still set at 30\u00ba).\u00a0 It’s been a little liberating, but I know I have a long way to go.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
