Vinny, the out-patient therapist from my knee replacements, was surprised when I showed up last week with a broken hip. It's good to have someone familiar with my skeletal idiosyncrasies.
As soon as he realized I wasn't kidding about the hip, for old times sake, he measured the flexion in my knees. My left knee was 137 degrees. Drum roll please. For him, a new record. A surgeon friend says that anything over 130 is showing off so I was psyched until the therapist in the office next door said she'd had a patient with a 138. An office record...but not for long.
Unfortunately, the right leg is still around 100. You know what 90 degrees looks like. 100 is just a little more and not really enough to go upstairs or ride a bike correctly. :(
Other Things.
•Discharged from home health.
•Rode the my bike indoors for 54 minutes (or long enough to think I wouldn't be able to get off) while watching 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off'.
•Walked over to and on the ski trail.
•Drove to the post office.
