10 weeks tomorrow - and a picture!

Yep, 10 weeks! And you can take my lack of posts as witness of the fact that my life is returning to normal. I can now walk (fighting that tempting limp). Last night I went to my first yoga class since before surgery. This afternoon I biked down to the water (3 blocks away) and then a little way around the bay and back again. That was even easy :) I don't have my full range of motion back yet, but easy going... I'll get there.

Any PT-minded folks peering at this? If not I'll lay off the PT updates, but for now: still in the pool - walking forwards, backwards, and sideways, leg swings, abduction, adduction, squats and gentle jogging/jumping. This week I tried a gentle flutter kick down and back holding onto a kickboard and that wasn't too bad.

My only real trouble for now is that my tendon doesn't move smoothly over the 2 temporary screws I have, so anything that goes from dead straight to a slight bend (walking, stairs) annoys the heck out of it. The bonus? My leg doesn't get straight enough when I'm biking for it to be an issue!

Looks a little like a vague, dreamy moonscape..
