Six weeks post surgery
It's now six weeks since my knee surgery, and I had a followup visit with my surgeon today. He's happy with the incision, and very happy with my range of motion to date.
Which means ... I no longer need the leg brace! I'm actually allowed to walk around without my knee locked! I don't have to stump from point A to point B! Yay! [1]
Of course, it's still going to be quite a while before I'm back to full strength and agility. For that matter, it'll be a while before I feel comfortable walking without my trekking pole as a balancing aid.
And, alas, I'll no longer have the leg brace to act as an automatic conversation starter. Oh, shucks.

[2] Without any corresponding jumping up and down, alas. The knee's not in that good shape yet.
