Out Patient PT - 21 days post-op

Today was my first outpatient PT session.  I am going to Florida Rehabilitation Specialists in Lady Lake.  I chose this location for two reasons:  Forwen Dela Rosa was recommended to me by a friend who lives in The Villages and is a very active person, as am I.  I knew that her expectations for a PT would be very high.  She had her 2nd knee replacement 6 weeks or so ago, and told me how pleased she was with Forwen.  The second reason, is that it is very close to home.

So, I met Forwen today, and we began.  He measured the range of motion, and I am already on the high side at 2 degrees to 120 degrees, the desired ultimate range being 0 - 120.  He thinks I should be able to get to 125 or 130 before we finish, and maybe -2.  He does not think I will need PT very long, a month at most.  He worked me, and I am sore this evening for the first time. . .a good kind of sore.

I'll be going three times a week.
