March 22nd - Slow day

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

  1. Can't you just put the knee brace over your skinny jeans?
