Andrzej came early today, it's Saturday. Every day that goes by validates my decision to get him back. He is very experienced, I think he said 40 years of experience. He is from Poland originally, he knows all kinds of techniques, and doesn't just stick to one template of care. I'm pretty sure I'm a challenge to the therapist. Not your regular garden variety knee replacement patient. Kym says I'm special...
I feel like I'm getting more motion out of both knees, and the swelling seems to be better. After I walk, or exercise, he has me elevating the knee a lot for 15 minutes. He is doing most of the movement so far, with me just following along as far as it goes, without a lot of pain. So far, so good.
I'm working on walking form, not speed so much, and to depend on the walker just for stability, not support. I remember that from last time, I fell like we were on to a cane pretty quickly. One day at a time, a little better each day. I only took 7 pills yesterday, down from 10 the day before.
The Christmas drink bar went up today, a favorite in our house. I'm looking forward to a steady flow of hot, holiday drinks.
