My first visit to the physical therapist


First, I was scolded a bit for walking into therapy cuz my sheet given by the doc said I was suppose to only have 25% weight first week, 50%second week and so forth. I'll use crutches a bit more for now or as needed, but not all the time.
Testing me, my flex on the leg was 116 degrees bent and +1 straight. I guess I also was suppose to be sleeping with my brace locked, but I wasn't (didn't know??). Even though I seem to be doing things wrong my leg seems to be much better then everyone expects.

The bandage is off and stitches have been pulled. It is now 13 days post-op. I have 2 days/week scheduled with the therapist and I hope to get through this asap.
