With the doctor's follow up coming up on Tuesday, Catherine wrote up the doctor's note today. It's basically a PT rehab report card of sorts. Exercise-wise, I wasn't asked to do my regular routine. Instead, we focused on doing particular exercises, prior to some additional testing and some taking of measurements.
At incline level 8, I did single leg squats on both legs until fatigue to measure out the strength difference between the two. I got my left (normal) leg up to 40, and the right (repaired) leg up to 25.
After some more exercises, we did a big bend stretch (the two PT gal combo). Apparently I got a pretty good stretch on this one (I never watch while we do the bend, as I think I tend to fight it, when I can see what's happening...haha!). We did a measure and I was at 100 degrees on my own, and 108 with a helpful *push*.
I also got to do e-stim for the first time. Same concept as Russian, but instead of attaching on my quads, and doing an exercise at the same time, I got to lay back, and have ice on my knees with electrical current to my knee area.
Good times! (Says Wes-5-Months-From-Now)
