So I can walk now
So I can walk now. It is actually quite wonderful to be able to walk. They (physical therapists) even teach you how to do it right - something that I don't think I've ever done. It goes like this - heel, toe, stretch. I still walk slowly with a limp.
According to my physical therapist - he has been trying "to get Wasiuddin to ambulate without an antalgic gait. ROM measurements are full extension to 125 degrees of flexion. Minimal swelling is noted a generalized fashion. He continues to have difficultly squatting, kneeling and going up and down stairs. Overall, he continues to progress on a consistent basis."
I saw my doctor yesterday. He seemed pleased with my progress since the last time he saw me (he wasn't pleased with my progress two weeks ago).
Did I mention I can drive ? Which means I can do my own groceries now! I can't drive very far though.
So overall, things are going well. My knee still swells up at night and is quite painful at times. Oh yes, there's that annoying creaking noise from my knee that can be heard from across the room sometimes, but apparently these are not unusual.
