Physiotherapy and Reimagining
I had my first physiotherapy session this evening. Apparently I am doing great. My range of motion (ROM) is really very good. I extend down to around three degrees (almost flat) and can flex over a hundred and fifteen degrees. The physiotherapist mentioned that normally people get to be around five to seventy-five in the first week. She seemed like the kind who might exaggerate a bit to make me feel better.
She put me on a bike and the challenge was to complete full pedals forwards and backwards. At first I found going over the top in the forward direction quite hard. My knee got close to the top but no cigar. I then went backwards. Much better. Cycled a few times. In about five minutes I was able to complete several pedals forward and backward. Slowly.
Evidently people with good ROM do stupid things because they dont realize that their strength isnt there yet. So she made it very clear that the brace is a must whenever the footing is not sure. Which is likely all of the time outside the house. Consistent with the doctor's advice. We then worked on some strength building exercises. I felt really good after that. Deceptively simple yet the feeling was of a huge release and relief. She did warn me not to do these exercises more than once or twice a day.
Later that evening I went out. I had the brace on. Nobody really notices a borg-like fitting on your leg. I bought Vijay Iyer's Reimagining, came home and plopped it in the CD player.
Life seems to be returning to normal. Much work ahead, though.
