Yesterday I got an early Christmas gift. I finally got to fully bend my knee. I was hoping to do it by the 3 month anniversary of my surgery, but I was a couple days late. Aaron was able to bend it all the way to my butt while I was lying on my stomach. Now, all that is left is to be able to do it under my own power. My hamstring is still incredibly weak but it is getting better. I notice it the most when I am on an exercise bike. I just don't feel like I can control my leg that well and I have no power in the downstroke. Because of this my foot likes to stop at the top of the pedal and I have this choppy cadence. It's just going to take time to smooth all this out.
Last night, Aaron and I celebrated this victory with a small bottle of champagne. I'll be posting pictures of this at some point but at the time I wasn't going to have Aaron hold my leg there long enough to take a photo.
