Day 11. PT #2.

Today was my second round of physical therapy. The PTist said that I was doing excellent. 130 degrees without any assistance or towel to pull me along. We started on the weight lifting today. Here's what I did:
3 sets of 20 leg extensions (with my knee oven a 'thing') with 7.5lb weight
3 sets of 20 leg lifts with a 2 lb weight
2 sets of 20 leg curls with ~40 lbs
3 sets of 20 on the 'shuttle' leg press on a medium difficulty.
3 sets of 20 calf raises

I've been given strict instructions not to do leg extensions and to do squats instead (Wall squats). I've also been cleared for elliptical and bike.

Afterwards everything felt great and I was walking probably the best since I walked into surgery. As soon as I went back to my desk and sat down everything stiffened up again.

Speaking of which, yesterday was my first day back at work. I'm at a desk 90% of the time, but getting up and walking I could tell my walk was getting progressively worse. If I went down to a test cell I had to sit down otherwise the swelling / throbbing was just too much. I think 10-15 minutes is my limit for being on my feet. Having my leg below my heart is enough.
