Much better night, I actually got a little sleep and It did not hurt near as bad. After shower, breakfast and morning pills I got ready to head down to PT. Once there I talked to Dr Debby about the rough night and let her know that I really cut back on the exercises yesterday. She inspected the leg, feeling the muscles and what ever is under the skin around the knee. We also talked about the work that we had done here at PT on Monday. She was concerned that the pain had kept me awake and we decided to back off a little. -- We did still work for an hour, just cut back to ten reps instead of fifteen. She told me when I felt like going back to the fifteen, do it. I did get my knee to the 95 degrees bend today, (that is good). -- After PT I stopped at Boston Market for a turkey dinner. It was good. Back home I took a break, actually about a twenty minute nap in the chair. At 2pm I took my afternoon walk to the post office boxes and back down around the park. After, I did a new exercise on the steps to my deck. It works on bending the knee. Then I tied a band on to the deck post and with my foot in the loop worked at pulling my leg back straightening the knee. First exercise was to bend the knee and second to make it straight. Still have 5 degrees to go to get it where it belongs on the straight side. -- Have not done much since the exercises, don't really plan on doing much else. Did fix a delicious Banquet Pot Pie for supper, little tongue in cheek there. --- All the interesting points of today have already occurred, so, Till Tomorrow.
