Knee surgery

[Catrin]

Whooohoooo! FIRST kettlebell group training class this morning. Light workout, my coach is being quite vigilant, but it went well. It is good to be getting back into our little community. Also went hiking for about 30-35 minutes this afternoon with Winding Road. Slow pace, but with my new brace, hiking boots and hiking stick my knee/leg was far more stable than I was afraid it might be. I DID make certain that there was 6 hours between kettlebells and trail. I will only be in group once a week until I'm released from PT.

The quad still needs quite a lot of strengthening, but it felt great to actually be outside in the woods - even on a trail that I normally wouldn't consider hitting since it is so featureless. That lack of "trail personality" is what made it perfect for my first attempt at non-pavement walking. I did reach the point where my knee wasn't sure about it all - but that was literally 5 steps away from the picnic table at which we ended our hike I don't think I could do it without boots boots and brace, I will try it again tomorrow I think
