Journal entry by Sarah Darlington —
8 weeks - progressing well but still very very stiff. Pain is subsiding and it feels More uncomfortable than pain. Still very hard to walk when I first get out of bed and it takes about 15 mins before my legs work properly. However, I have returned to almost normal activities. Can manage the shopping and cooking and Light household tasks.
Physical therapy is 3 times a week and making slow progress. The hardest part is getting the knee to straighten. Just doesn’t want to go there. Improvements are millimeters at a time so it is very hard to notice the progress.
Thanks for all the support!
