I am over the moon as to how well... I am progressing. My knee is bending loads more from my first physio session two weeks ago. I can actually see the bend myself!! ( I shall put up a photo soon to show you the bend!!) Walking on the crutches is a lot easier. More importantly I am pain-free until I have to bend my knee... This just tends to be a dull ache until I then push myself a little further to get the knee to bend that little be extra. It doesn't feel as tight anymore although it does feel as though something is still going to ping out of my knee and across the room.
In the back of my mind, I still worry as to whether the grafts are OK especially when my leg goes into a spasm during the night and it feels as though my knee twists slightly and then a quick sharp stabbing pain but it is over within a second. I no longer get the red hot poker feeling that I used to get through the bottom of my foot anymore so overall I am mega pleased with how everything is progressing at this stage. Only time will tell if everything has gone according to plan.
Today I booked tickets to see TheatreMAD's West End Bares.....
I would just like to say how helpful Katie Lydon; Deputy Box Office Manager at The Novello Theatre was. I was really worried that I wasn't going to make this years show due to not being able to bend my leg and have access to the theatre but she has given me all the relevant information that I need to make it possible and I have an aisle seat where I will be able to stick my leg out slightly if I cannot fully bend it behind the seat in time on Sunday 29th October.
My motivation is to continue to bend the knee further and hope that I will be able to fully bend it by the 29th.
