"Today is graduation day."
It's almost six weeks post-op, and Forwen was working on my knee for the last time, preparing to take the measurement to include in the final PT report to be sent to my surgeon.
Range of Motion: -3 to 130.
I was told this was an unusually good result for only six weeks out. He has not had another patient do as well as fast. It's bittersweet, though, since while I love the fact that I feel as good as I do and can do as much as I can do, I am really going to miss my 3x week at PT. I think it is partly knowing that 3 times a week, I had an appointment to do something important (sort of like playing tennis?), and now I'm going to have to be disciplined and do the stuff by myself with no one standing over me. That's no fun! But I knew from the onset that, whereas tennis was my "job" prior to surgery, that rehabbing was my "job" post surgery. Of course, I'm passionate about tennis, but, unfortunately, not as passionate about rehabbing. Oh, well. On to the next stage in the TKR recovery process!
