As expected, my first physical therapy session (which was this morning) was pretty low key.  We just did some light leg tightening exercises and some easy massage to flush out the swelling. Nevertheless, it felt good to go in there and get my leg working again!  My leg feels a lot better already and I can almost fully extend it even though it’s only been a couple days since getting it repaired.  I’m also able to bend my leg up to 70 degrees with the help of the CPM (continuous passive motion) machine!  I’ve gotta say, things are looking really good and the physical therapists were impressed with my knee, saying that I’m farther along than average.

Aside from that, I was able to go to the gym today and do some light conditioning exercises.  It wasn’t much but it was good to get a little bit of sweat going.  I’ll gradually increase the intensity, and will start doing upper-body strength like it’s my business!

Anyway, more physical therapy tomorrow.  Can’t wait to see what kind of exercises are in store for me and to see the gradual improvements with my knee!

Oh, and I’ll be going to watch Funny People with my teammates later on tonight.  Should be a good movie!
