Week 3, day 3

Walking seems to be better. I can walk without a crutch decent enough, I think, but still using one crutch to try to make sure the gait is normal.

Woke up with the knee feeling stiff, which makes the first bunch of steps of the day have an awkward gait (knee not extending all the way).

2nd PT visit went well. Was able to do the stationary bike, flexion up to 121 degrees. Extension *feels* like it's almost there, but it isn't. It's better than the original visit for sure.

Did range-of-motion exercises (heel slides and the towel-assisted terminal knee extensions) before bed. Also did a prone hangs for about 5-6 mins with a 5lbs ankle weight! Didn't feel too brutal, so things must be improving.
