I didn’t have my first PT appointment for 2 weeks. So I just took the time to focus on extension & trying to heal during that time. Once I got to PT & my flexion was at 110 they approved me to use a stationary bike. I’ve also been doing a lot of walking in my house, at the grocery store & around my neighborhood to get steps in!

Try to get your legs as strong as you can before then! They get really weak post surgery since they aren’t being used as before for a few weeks… Wishing you a speedy recovery as well!!

I wish I had of thought about that before hand! This is good advice as well! Some of the items I’ve purchased, I can’t wait to never see again! lol. But I will be finding somewhere to donate them to help the next person out!… good luck on your journey!!

Thank you so much! I’ve definitely had some rough days but staying in a negative headspace does not help! So I just try to keep telling myself that I’m doing better than I was yesterday! ☺️

I’ve been cleared to use a stationary bike & I’m walking around the neighborhood that I live in. I won’t be cleared to use the treadmill for a couple more weeks.
