100 Degrees of Flexion!

I had a great day at physio today. So great that I just have to blog about it. In the past week, I've been committed to my exercises that Neena teaches me during our sessions. I've been challenging myself as much as I can to bend my knee and put weight on my leg. And it has paid off.

My flexion is now up to 100deg (from 75deg just a week ago and 25deg to begin) and I'm relieved that I am over the minimum 90deg required for surgery! I was also able to pedal on a bike, albeit slowly. Starting today, I will attempt to walk around the house without my crutches. So all in all, things are looking up. Neena says she'll continue to push me and has set an ambitious goal of 130deg before my pre-operation assessment on September 15.

Time to put my game face on!
