 I tried asking if I could just ride my bike, but that's a no-no right now. I may be joining the YMCA and if I do, that will solve that problem.

| Did the stationary bike yesterday, I was really surprised being asked to hop on it one week after my surgery. I did not do full circles though, It's cycling in both ways until point of discomfort. It definitely beats heel slides! |

| I had a post-op appointment on Tuesday, ~ 2 weeks out of surgery. Stiches removed. Pretty much ditched the brace, down to one crutch but another couple of weeks before ditching them (I hate crutches). ROM at 0-120. Docotr said I am doing very well. Felt good to hear even if he is just saying it. Doing ROM and strength exercises mostly at OT. Also doing the stationary bike twice a day for about an hour total. How is everbody else doing? |

| Start PT tomorrow again. I have been off crutches since Last week, but still wear my brace when i go out. I do not wear it around the house though. Had the 2 week appointment on Tues. yesterday as well and got clearance to drive. ROM is around 0-105 with using only the bad leg, and around 120 helping with the other leg.

| Thanks drjeff. HS, good to hear you are doing well. Great that your doctor is not crutch-obsessed. Mine initially said 4-6 weeks, but looks like he will let me off the hook with 4. I am starting work on Monday, will wear the brace for the first day and see how it goes. The doctor asked me to be careful about twisting the knee. |

| He told me that if I did not want to use crutches at all that I never needed them. I used them for about a week. My guy is really a fan of the brace though...  He said I should be able to get rid of it in 2 weeks. At home I can be more cautious and dont really wear it, but out in public it is nice to have that little bit of protection.I went back to work after 1 week, but it was just a part time job, and I mainly relied on the other guy to run the store.
