Not much exciting to report today. I finally got a good night's sleep without the brace. I was also able to take off a couple more of the Steri-strips. The large incision down the front of my knee is healing pretty nicely but I am definitely going to have a nice scar. Dr. Karyn made a recommendation on a new brace so I am going to talk to her more about it on Monday and then probably order it that night. The only good thing about the current brace is that I have to wear shorts to school because my pants don't fit over it. Good thing I don't wear skinny jeans...
I moved up to 30 minutes on the bike this afternoon to start trying to get more of a cardio workout. It went pretty well. I noticed a little more soreness than usual afterwards today as well as an mild shooting pain that I haven't had before. I'm hoping that it's just because I added some time on the bike and I need to get used to it. I also need to start working my quad some more so that it catches up with the left one, so I started doing the quad flex sets again. That could also be the source of the pain.
Tomorrow, I am supposed to go for a 30 to 45 minute walk so we will see how that goes. Here's today's workout:
Core 10x25
Planks 2x45sec, 2x30sec
Can't you just put the knee brace over your skinny jeans?
