4 Weeks

It has now been a month since my surgery and I am amazed at all my progress. Over the past week and half I have accomplished many new things. The one I am most proud of is going up and down stairs with just one foot on each step, and I love that they are not so time consuming any more. I also have been given clearance to drive again, and look forward to running errands. A couple of small changes for me were going off my blood thinner, which means no more twice weekly lab appointments- Hooray! I was also able to switch my pain medication to the next step down in strength. I am very thankful my pain has been so manageable.
Also during therapy this week I was able to bend my knee to 110 degrees alone and she was able to push me to 120 degrees. I was thrilled to have added another 10 degrees.
