Physical Therapy
Started PT today for my knee. I have 95% flexion and a very strong sense of balance even now, which was nice to know. I haven't lost anything there. But, wow, some of the exercises hurt.
I'm really excited about my therapist. She's a knee specialist; got her PT degree from UBC in Vancouver and a Masters in Sports Medicine from the University of Calgary. So I'm in good hands. And after an hour of stretching and bending and straightening and lifting, my knee feels much more fluid and flexible than it has in a long time.
And I'll be following my brother's advice. When his shoulder was rebuilt, he had some serious PT and got up an hour early every day to do the work. Seems to me like the right thing to do. If my knee already feels better after an hour of the stuff we were doing, I'll be doing those exercises the 3x a day they recommend. Even though some of them really suck rocks.
