Ugh. This morning I had an appointment with both my doctor and physical therapist. Talk about a rough morning. Jeesh. The doc just did the normal, "this is what the inside of your knee looks like" chat and sent me on my way. They are always so proud of their pictures from inside your knee. I always feel badly when I tell them that those photos mean nothing to me. I do not know what a "normal" knee looks like so showing me my "abnormal" knee looks fine to me. I was able to see how out of place my kneecap was- that was neat! Other than that I just nod...kind of like clients do in tax meetings. ;)
I had a new physical therapist today, Michael. He was nice and we talked football as he bent my knee in 900 ways. I was not entirely ready for PT today, but so be it. I ended up being able to get my knee bent to 105 degrees! Yay! (That's darn good for my 1st day!) I also rode the stationary bike for 5 minutes! Again that was a superb accomplishment for my first day back in PT. Michael was pleased and sent me on my way. Jackson left work to take me home as I was not quite ready for work yet. I'll return tomorrow.
I made myself a quick lunch and took my medicine. I am now off to nap the afternoon away. I made progress in PT, but now I am sore!! I plan to be off of my crutches come Thursday.

So glad that Jenna is doing better. I just know that her knee is going to be just fine.
Everyone vote for MacKenzie. She is sooooooooooo cute even if she did growl at Grammy when I arrived. I love the picture of her on her pillow wearing her boyfriend's letter jacket!
well, at least this PT won't be making crude comments like that other crazy lady you had! I'm still grossed out by your experience!
