The healing trend continues, for now
I am amazed at how much better my leg feels each day since Friday's setback. On the one hand, I think it is a good sign that it got better quickly. On the other hand, I'm scared that one wrong step will set me even further back. But for now, I'm definitely enjoying having less pain that I remember in a long time. I was a little sluggish swimming this morning, and I still didn't want to try kicking because that motion does cause pain, but pushing off the wall was fine and getting out of the pool was easier. (All that bending of the knee and weight bearing is tough for me.)
Poor Matt has a cold and wasn't feeling too well today. It was a good day to hang around and catch up on our newspaper reading. I also spent a good chunk of time transferring phone numbers from my current cell phone to my new one that I got from work and notifying people about the change. I will miss my Motorola phone, though.
Tonight I lifted and did a little speedwalking on the treadmill. It was only about 3/4 of a mile since I don't want to push it, but I felt pretty good. The major thing that bothers me these days is eccentric loading (i.e. walking downhill) and bearing a lot of weight (i.e. climbing up the stairs). Hopefully my body will realize that it's much better when I can walk normally!
