Hi blog world, I haven’t forgotten about you, just been very busy.  Let’s see, last post was after I played softball…I’ve done a fair amount of exercising since then.  Took the bike out for a spin over the long weekend - I really need to go for a long trail ride soon!  The knee felt good, although I would like to start going to spin to gain the strength to stand and pedal.  That is still unbalanced.  I also increased my jogging interval to 3 minutes jog / 1 minute walk.  The knee held up with the increased time interval, which I was a little surprised.  Also had a trainer appointment this morning, which was awesome.  The workout wasn’t too leg intensive which was good because I focus on the knee and core so much at PT.  My arms are like jello now so typing is tiring! haha

At PT I added in some straight line hops which, surprisingly, went really well.  I was a little hesitant because I hadn’t done too much jumping yet, but the knee felt normal! yay!  Have I mentioned that I feel really good? :)

I only have 3 PT visits left!

*Sheesh* Partial weight bearing is harder than non-weight bearing…my arms and shoulders are tiiired!  Since I’m only allowed to put 10-15 lbs of weight down, I have to use my crutches to control the remaining weight.  That in turn means my arms/shoulders have to do a lot more work!  Who needs the gym when I get an all-around workout between my crutches and knee exercises.
