Today wasn’t the beginning of my third week off of work as I had anticipated. It ended up being my first week back. I’m actually grateful that my Short Term Disability didn’t get approved for another week. I needed the change of scenery from my couch at home and to be able to see more people and do more things.

This morning was another physical therapy session that began with about 10 minutes on a stationary bike. That is a rough exercise to get my knee loosened up with in the morning after being stiff all night from sleeping. After that I got to work on Chuck Norris’ Total Gym, which I had the pleasure of doing once before I had my surgery. Some unassisted stair stepping exercises along with some ankle-weighted leg lifts were to follow.
