week 6, day 6

It's been a while since I've posted. The good news is that there isn't much to report. Physical therapy is still going strong. We've added a number of new balancing exercises that involve me balancing on wobbly things. We've also been working hard on small steps, so that I can start to get back to the point where I can go up stairs with a normal gait.

On Friday I had a bit of a scare. I was in a restaurant with marble floors and didn't notice that the floor was wet. I slipped a little bit (even though I had my crutch with me) and it really scared me. Thankfully, I didn't fall or injure anything seriously. But for about an hour after the slip my knee felt a little sore - almost like I had a very minor sprain. Within a few hours, I couldn't feel any difference though. This was a good reminder that I still need to be very careful and that I'm still vulnerable to reinjury.
