Aug. 25: Monday: Extension trumps flexion

Now I can get around with a cane instead of a crutch, and perhaps even without a cane. Today’s therapist said that it was important to work on extension even though I am close to 0. After 6 weeks it becomes hard to make extension progress, while flexion progress can be made for months.

I have a bike on a stand here now thanks to Katie, but I cannot really get around one cycle yet. On the stationery bike at PT I was able to get around at height 5, whereas previously I needed height 6.

I can walk a bit with no cane or crutch, but it is tiring.
