Week 4, day 3

Did ROM exercises at lunch today, then another visit to the PT in the evening. The knee was feeling good this morning.

The knee flexion is doing ever so better, probably better than 135, though we didn't measure. The PT confirmed full extension visually.

Attempted balancing on my right leg at the PT, but felt pressure and some pain on medial side of the knee, so we aborted those. Too early then.

Still no hamstring strength exercises until 11/14, though the PT will ping the Dr about straight leg raises on my stomach, as those work the glutes more.

Used a 2lb ankle weight for straight leg raises and side leg raises. Straight leg raises produced a burn in the hip, on the inside, and some burn in my hip on the outside with side leg raises... so staying with 2lbs for the next visit.
