KNEE +11

I visited the Orthopedic Surgeon’s office today in order to get the bandage changed on my knee.  The wound is looking really good.

First dressing change (1) (Small)

After having the dressing changed I had an appointment with the PT.  She spent a long time massaging my thigh muscle.  Again, this was SO painful.  I believe I could have cried if I let myself!  She gave me two new exercises – sitting hamstring stretch and standing hamstring stretch.  I was able to make a backward round on the stationary bike today, but not a forward round.  My ROM has increased to 105 degrees.

As soon as we returned home I slept for over two hours.  I was exhausted!  When I awoke I did my exercises and walked.  Then elevate and ice.
