Day 11 of my knee replacement journey.

Exciting day today, first trip out of the house! Just a short ride to my first out patient PT session. Per my therapist I’m doing really well, he massaged the leg to help get the lymphatic system going to drain out all of the blood and fluids.

Was able to bend my knee to 107 degrees, 114 with his assistance. Extending the knee is 3 degrees from being straight. Those are the numbers I’ll be working on to improve over the several weeks.

He had me do 5 minutes on the bike, went very well. Surprised how tired I got however.

I’ve been very conscientious about keeping the knee above heart level when not upright. Swelling is very mild at this point. Can’t wait to be able to sit for longer periods. Hopefully that should change soon.

So all in all things are looking good. No regrets so far!
