I’m in a good mood today because 1) its Friday! 2) I got to see some friends last night that I hadn’t seen in a quite some time due to the knee! and 3) I had my first PT appointment this morning!

@ PT, I answered lots of questions, got stretched out, did my 4-way leg raises, tried to balance a little on my left leg, and walked a little without my crutches!!  I also rode the bike for 10 minutes and did the leg press for quads and calves.  My poor little left calf was SHAKING!  it hadn’t been used in so long! :(  I have a feeling it’s gonna be sore tomorrow.  All in all a GREAT first visit!

Measurements:

Left calf: 33cm

Right calf: 34cm

Left quad: 41.5cm

Right quad: 46.5cm

Can we say there is some work to be done! haha

I was also really pleased to hear that my PT wants me off the crutches by next Friday!  I couldn’t have said it any better myself (oh wait, secretly, that was my goal as well since I’m hoping to go to the beach for the 4th of July and did not want to use one of these!)

Happy weekend — hopefully the sun will be a shining!
