Aug. 3, 2014: Sunday: Quadricep breakthrough

In my morning exercises I could perform 10 leg lifts from a horizontal position. Before this I could not raise the leg even one millimeter. This is a huge breakthrough, and surely means that there was no serious nerve damage. It must be that the welling has prevented this exercise, and the swelling goes down all the time. And now I am using the CPM machine up to 94°.

Today we drove our house guests Christine and Scot high above Leadville, where I waited in car while they hiked to the top of Resolution Mountain. Looked for mushrooms. Nothing.
