Third Day of Physical Therapy

New exercise thrown into the mix today, dragging back a large beach ball with my heel is helping me straighten my leg as well as activate the hamstring.

90 degree ROM today which is great! Slightly ahead of schedule. Now have to hit 110 degrees ROM before my 2 week post op visit to the surgeon.

Straightening the leg fully is still difficult, I seem to have swelling right above the knee which is stopping my from achieving full extension. Got a new exercise to do where I lie face down on the bed with legs hanging off just above the knee. Hold for 1 minute and then 15 hamstring curls, repeat. Let's see how it works.

Walked home from physio today, I'd say it was about a mile...
