Week 7, day 1: less pain w00t!

Six weeks have passed. This is the best-feeling morning in the recent memory. Woke up at 7am with just a slight ache in the knee. Not even really painful. Iced it anyway, then got up to go to work.

So hopefully, this pain at top of tibia/around incision site is a thing of the past. Hurray healing.

The PT visit went well! The PT suggested to hold off the elliptical until I start hamstring strength in the middle of November. Leg press went well, no pain, and the balancing was fine for the first time (just a little pressure on the medial side, but no pain). The knee felt fine for the rest of the day after the icing.

I must have quite a bit of muscular imbalance in the right leg now, with the hamstring being very weak and the quad a bunch stronger.
