Fifteen weeks post-surgery
Nov. 22nd, 2014 09:24 pmOn the one hand, it's kind of hard to believe it's been that long since my knee surgery.
On the other hand, I'm pretty happy with my recovery so far. I'm walking well enough to routinely take the commuter rail into Boston, which saves me money, aggravation, and wear-and-tear on the car. And my physical therapist now has me doing step-up exercises. Small steps, mind you - I just graduated to the two-inch step - but definite improvement. (As a bonus, I finally have a new use for some of the obsolete computer programming language manuals I have lying around!)
Hopefully, by the time I find myself needing to navigate snowy / icy streets, I'll have two good knees to do the navigating with.
