Rehab after a month

Well I know it's been a while since I gave an update on the "new knee" so here goes. Yesterday was just over 5 weeks of rehab.

Progress is bending with me just moving the leg back is at 114 degrees, with them pushing and holding just 119. Amount you want to reach is 120. Must say that was a painful stretch to get the 119 though. Still feeling it today.

Extension or how flat you leg is on a level table. Zero is the where you want to be and I was at 2 degrees.

Over all I where they want me to be after 8 weeks. It's all good.

Very good Fred---keep it up---the PT I mean :rolleyes2:

Good job.

PT SUCKS but is an evil necessity.

Got the bride out of Hospital rehab and home yesterday. Operation was on the 16th .Today was her first At home rehab. She currently has 94% bend and a 3 % extension. P T says about four weeks at home rehab 3 days a week , then to out patient for a while.

Sounds good to me. Keep it up.

And without hard work there is no progress---keep at it :clap:

A quick update on the bride. It will be one month post op tomorrow. 115 deg bend and 3 deg flat. No need for walker or cane at this time. P T says one more week of home PT and most likely nothing after that. Worst pain was about a 6 . No opioids after hospital. one Advil prior to PT. Things are looking good.

Very good IV---give her five for me :hi5:

Sounds great IV.
