Monday, Christmas Eve Eve. Andrezej came today, and we gave him a new measuring tool. It got broken the other day, and I thought would get him a new one as a gift. He won't take any money for coming, he keeps saying that I'm his research project.
We did the massage and measured. My left knee measured 115 degrees, and the right one came to 93, The right one started at 83, and after working on it, measured 93. The problem is that I can't get it straight enough. I got in to see Jessica about an hour after he left. I tried to explain as well as I could what he was doing every visit. I wonder what she's really thinking, but she can tell that I'm doing better than the last time we worked together. One more session on Thursday, and then the manipulation happens at noon on Friday. I feel like all the work on minimizing the scar tissue will help minimize the trauma from the manipulation, and make the recovery better than the last one.
At pt today while I was warming up on the bike, I got the pedals to go around for the first time! That is really a big deal to me. I had to tilt my hips a little, and I didn't do that the whole time. It was exciting though. My plan for getting better relies on being able to ride the bike at home every day. I figure that if I can bike a few times throughout the day, I can get in better overall shape, and maybe get my blood pressure down enough to get off the medication.
