My Brother

I am hoping to get over to see my brother today. He is in a physical therapy unit for his knee replacement. They did a different kind of surgery on him and I don't think it was a good one. Now they sometimes cut the cartilage to put in the knee replacement. The problem with that is that he has to have a heavy brace on his leg to keep it straight, except for therapy. It has taken him 3 weeks to be able to put weight on it. I hope they don't do this to other people.

Physical Therapy

I had my second session of physical therapy today. The gal really gave my operated knee a real work out. She really massaged the tight thigh muscles until they were a lot more relaxed and I could do more exercises more easily.It isn't quite as hard to get around with the walker now. I also go up and down steps with a crutch. I always thought that looked scary but it isn't.
