Taking it day by day jpg. I keep pushing it hard & I'm making steady, albeit slow progress. It's going slowly because they can't do surgery on my ankle until I make significant progress with my knee. And that's a catch 22. Progress with my knee is significantly hampered due to the torn tendons in my ankle. I had a setback Saturday. My ankle became significantly more swollen & painful. Walking was a real chore. Still is. However, in the last couple of weeks, I have been able to do a number of things that had been impossible since the injury. I actually walked up the steps when we returned from therapy (leading with my left leg all the way of course). It was scary & painful, but I was quite pleased with mice elf when I accomplished the task. I started to do exercises that involve mild exertion of my knee this week. Yumpin' yiminee! That's a tough row to hoe. I walked the 50 or so feet into therapy on crutches, rather than use the wheelchair for the first time last week. And I was able to make it back to the car afterwards too. That really takes the last ounce of energy to do it, but I am quite pleased to finally accomplish that goal. With significant external force applied to my knee, it now bends a full 90º. According to my ortho doc & my therapist, that is a major milestone. I will continued to be tortured, 'er receive therapy until it reaches 110º to 120º with little or no external force applied. I now can do bathroom duty all by mice elf too. My dignity has been returned. :-) .
