Four weeks ago today I had knee surgery. Even though I'm nowhere near back to normal and not walking nor even driving, it seems like such a long time ago. There has been a huge improvement in pain and swelling, but I think some spots are still a little swollen and it still burns quite often. I can bend it to about 80 degrees and have a goal of 90 degrees for my next appointment on the 26th. According to my timeline, I could possibly be walking in 2 weeks. I've been back to work since Sept. 2, and went to the gym for the first time on Sept. 16. I did upper body lifts and the bike that adjusts to whatever limbs you have. It felt so good to get moving. I took some 4-week photos.
