Knee surgery

[nkfrench]

Sounds like you're making a great recovery!

I will make a recommendation that you continue with some rehab exercises on a regular basis from now on.

I had a lateral release done decades ago with great results; I was negligent and did not keep the muscles around the knee strong.
I haven't asked my doc about it but I am convinced that resulting imbalance was just enough to set me up for a catastrophic knee injury I had several years later. No more combat sports but cycling and swimming are great.

I just learned from workman's comp that there will be a financial settlement due to permanent impairment remaining after the surgery and recovery period. On one hand I am better than before the surgery, but far from what I was able to do prior to the fall that precipitated all of this. Considering that I still act like "if I only work harder" I will get over the restrictions - ignoring all evidence to the contrary - this acknowledgement is almost a relief.

Good news, Catrin. Glad you're getting something out of this, might be fun to get some cool hiking poles or a bike toy, show that knee who's boss!

Already have poles, and sadly I can't ride any more so no new bike toys...but some new hiking shoes for sure :-)

That's good to hear, Catrin! New hiking shoes sound like a great plan. :-)
