6 Months Post Surgery and Counting

I've made it 6 months now and my life is becoming less about the knee and more about everything else. I'm going to "transitional" PT still which means it's me on my own at the same facility as normal PT two to three days a week. The routine:
  • Elliptical
  • Stretching
  • Exercises working on balancing and putting stress on the bad leg
  • Beginning agility - jogging, skipping, jump rope, running in rings of rope ladder
  • Weights - still about 10% away from body weight (blah!)

On off days I'm trying to go walk/jog at my regular gym a couple days a week on the treadmill.

I think about my knee a lot but not nearly as much as a few months ago. It still feels different but not nearly as bad. And, I can see a light at the end of the tunnel although who knows how I'll be when not doing rote exercises. All is good in general, though. Will post again as progress is made in a month or so.
