I finished Physical Therapy and had a final* post-op appointment with my surgeon. My range of motion has returned to a tiny bit better than what it was pre-op, which is around 4°—110°. I would like to keep working on improving it but it has stopped being the limits of post-op swelling and more the limits of pre-op soft tissue extension. That is going to take time. I need to keep walking and biking in the short term. My leg strength is finally coming back due to some gym time.
Linda and I went to Palm Springs last weekend to visit her brother-in-law and I spent quite a bit of time swimming. I feel really good in the water and swear my RoM was better submerged than on land. Who knows?
The real test will arrive in late November when ski season begins. Stay tuned.
*I still have to visit my surgeon at the one year mark so not completely done with him.
