Sunday before Christmas. We had some good family pictures before church this morning. I was another bright, sunny day if Plano, I think it got up to 50 degrees. Not your regular first day of winter.
I talked to a friend at church who is also a PT person, and he gave me a couple ideas to try this week, to maybe work on the extension mostly. He is going to come by on Tuesday after lunch, and see if he can think of anything else that might help. I'm sort of resigned to the prospect of doing the revision, but if we can skip it, that would be great. It's good to have friends that care about you. One thing he suggested was a 10 pound weight on top of my thigh, with my foot on a chair.
One funny thing from last night. I didn't sleep very well again. I put the special lotion on, and applied an ice bag to get to sleep. I think I laid awake for an hour and a half before I went back to sleep. About 4am I remember lying in bed with my legs out straight, and I could swear that I could feel my muscles stretch out, and my leg get totally straight. I also thought it bent pretty good too. It feels like this morning that the range of motion might be a little better, and I've been trying the weight thing using a 10 pound bag of flour. I also have been sitting in a chair, bending my leg under me, by rolling back and forth in a chair I borrowed from church. The jury is still out.
Tomorrow Anderzej is coming around lunch time, and then I'll try to get in to see Jessica. I want to see if she thinks I have made any progress in the work at home.
