Doc says I'm 2 weeks ahead of schedule!

Xray taken today - L knee on right in picture showing new knee.

I think he was flattering me a bit but for 3 weeks out, I'm feeling good, getting around albeit slowly, and gaining independence daily.

Milestones include:

  • last nursing visit & blood draw for cumadin levels yesterday.
  • last home visit by PT tomorrow
  • full backward revolution on stationary bike
  • outside PT begins Thursday

Other notable points:

  • at 6 weeks out I can get in the tub and/or the pool!! That'll be 3 weeks from today!
  • I can go to yoga!! I'll start with Gabriel's "gentle class"
  • I can go to the dentist at 6 weeks out, w/RX of antibiotic
  • I can drink alcohol in another 5 days!! legally!!!
