March 16th - Little By Little

Another pretty good day in which I saw some improvement.  I did notice some pain and soreness that I hadn't before but all in all everything seems OK.  The pain at the screw is still pretty intense when I do my exercises, but taking a couple seconds of rest seems to take care of it enough that I can finish the set.  I have been icing A LOT today.  It's paying off too...the swelling has gone down considerably.  I can actually make out the real shape of my knee rather than the softball that was attached to my leg.  I do have some cramping at the top of my calf which i am hoping will go away as the new strength exercises are added next week. 

I stuck with 17 minutes on the bike today but I really tried to crank up the cadence (relatively speaking, of course).  Today I was able to pedal at around 53rpm with a smooth motion.  I have the roller engaged for a bit of resistance, but I am still using the absolute lowest gear (small ring, 28 on the cassette). 

Here's the rest of today's workout:
Pull-ups 6x12
Push-ups 5x20
