PT Butt Kicking 8-04-2014

Oh man.....am I sore.  Karen came for PT today and again we did a lot of resistance exercises.  In my mind I am telling myself that I'm going to show her just how strong I am and that she can't stop me.  lol  It's a good thing it's in my mind cause it doesn't really happen that way.  She says I'm doing great and she can totally tell that I am trying very hard to push through her resistance but it's still not happening.  But it will, I know it will cause I can tell there has definitely been improvement.  So we did resistance exercises and some quad exercises and then some walking exercises.  They were actually taking big backward steps, so not really walking.  I did a lot of these all around the pool table.  It's a whole different stretch on my knee.  It stretches the back of my knee as it straightens.  And it's funny because these exercises do not last very long but they give me the most pain.  It's good pain, Karen reassures me of that, but I'm looking forward to being able to do these with no pain.  She did remind me that some of the quad exercises that we do used to hurt me real bad when I first started them and now they are still difficult but they don't hurt.  So that is progress.  Before she left she gave me a report card to give to my doctor at my follow up appointment tomorrow.  It's all good news, I've been an excellent patient.

So tomorrow is my follow up appointment with my surgeon.  I'll have some answers to a few of the questions I have for him and then find out what will be happening from here.  I'm anxious to see what he says as far as all that and also how he thinks I'm doing, how my incision looks, what's to come etc. Big day out tomorrow!!!!
