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.

At PT this morning they put this machine on my leg that was supposed to beep whenever I was able to tighten my quad past a certain point. I only got it to beep once. Very frustrating.
