Physical Theraphy

Went to see a Physical Therapist this morning as scheduled \. Only 6 days ago that I had the surgery.

I was able to walk on my own since yesterday and today I felt a lot better getting off the bed without any support. The PT was glad to see me walking on my own. She showed me what I can do at home. She iced my knee for 15 minutes. She measured how much I can bent my knee backwards.

She told me on my way out to make an appointment for as much as I want. Well, I don't want to go back since it's a waste of my time. I can do more at home and at the gym by myself.

So today, husband drove us to the gym. Good to get back at it again. The gym is less than 2 miles away from our home. We usually bike there and back.

I am so proud that I have muscles around where I had surgery which the PT mentioned that it makes the recovery a lot faster...woot woot for this.. So now I am more eager to get to the gym and get back to the routine.

Yesterday, I was doing some gardening. Trimming plants and pulling weeds were activities I didn't have to bend my body too much. There's a couple of steps that I have to go on and that perhaps helps me from getting too stiff.

So, I will be doing my own physical therapy either home or gym. I have all day at home to doddle around.hehe

that's it for now and be safe.
