I decided to change the name of my blog today. In October i started it by calling it "Starting of a Cycling Journey".
But today is 2 weeks post knee replacement surgery, and i am expanding my outlook to starting of many kinds of journeys. While running is not going to be one of them, i am googling 'walking friendly' half marathons. It appears i still have many half marathons available to accomplish!!!
It is going to be a long road. Today i am 'up' to 1/2 mile walking on the treadmill, at a 35 min pace.
And 'up' to 8 leg lifts and 6 wall supported squats. But i am looking forward with high hopes.
My knee replacement surgery was not a 'total' knee, as i had originally planned. I got a second opinion in December, and went with the new Orthopedic Specialist. I had a uni-comparmental replacement.
They do a CT scan with Dye in my knee to get a 3-D look at it and measure me for custom replacement parts. That all appears to have gone fine, it is the necessary smoothing out behind my knee cap and the plate screwed into my bone behind the knee cap that is giving me actual pain. Everything else is tight,
but appears to be working!!
I haven't journaled anything, but need to start so, i will start keeping up with this blog, now that i can sit in a chair with my knee bent!!!
