Rehabbing

After five months, I finally went to my first post-op rehab session. I was able to sneak some time off work yesterday afternoon to go to Medical City and see my doctor. He said that while my leg strength is remarkable, it lacks muscle endurance and it will get easily tired. The biggest thing was that he thinks that I'll never get my full ROM back as there has been a pretty long lull between my surgery and rehab. There is very little chance that my knee will get to the ideal flexion and extension range.

Regardless, he thinks I should be fine. The next 8-10 weeks will be spent in the gym doing rehab work. Hope it turns out good.
