Up, Up, Up.

I just started to walk up stairs one foot after the other.  Coming down stairs it's still just one step at a time with the same foot.  I know the pain will eventually subside and I'll get more strength back in my leg, but it sure is a long process.  I long for the day when I won't think about my knee every time I move.  Physical therapy is still tough.  The therapist was able to bend my knee to 117 degrees last time, but boy did it hurt.  I can almost bend my knee enough to peddle a stationary bike.  At least I'm able to walk a little farther each day, and I'm also able to do some chores around the house, so progress is certainly being made.  I'm hoping to be able to get out into the flower gardens and get some weeding done soon, as the flowers beds are nearly completely overtaken by weeds.
