It's been some time since I updated with news of my poor old knees.
I am now about 11 weeks post op and things are going really well - brilliantly in fact. The brace came off at only 4 weeks (compared to the 6 or 7 weeks last time) and full range of movement with both flexion and extension was achieved after a matter of weeks. Miraculous, to be honest. Even the consultant was scratching his head at one point, not quite understanding why I wasn't in more pain and struggling with movement.
The physio is still hard work - but I have to push myself - it's better in the long run and can only aid recovery.
There are occasional days when I feel as if I've been shot in the back of the leg - sudden, sharp pain - but fortunately the good days outweigh the bad ones.
I am so thankful for the skill of the surgeon, the patience, skill and care of the physio and for all those who have upheld me (and continue to uphold me) in prayer.
