Update

I can walk. Sorta. I still have the brace and the crutches, but I have authorization to be weight bearing "as much as you are comfortable with". I went up the front steps this evening without needing to go up on my bum. :-)

I also have authorization to drive, although he prudently recommends that I practice a bit in an empty parking lot first, since I haven't used my quadriceps muscle in six weeks.

Max range of motion right now is about 70 degrees, but I expect that to increase as I can now do weight bearing PT.

But also, the most difficult part is now not trying to do too much.
I have been thinking about you.

I'm fortunate that the knee reminds me when I try to do too much.

We miss you.
