Wow, does time fly! I've been back to work for close to a month now, this helps to explain my lack of posting.
When I started back to work I was still non weight bearing and in the locking brace all day unless I was taking a shower. Over the last three weeks or so I have made amazing strides in terms of my recovery. To start I have been working with a two man team in physical therapy and they have progressed me to almost 100% weight bearing. I still need the crutches for mis-steps and rough terrain,(grass, gravel, etc). The brace is all but gone, I only need to wear it to sleep for the next few weeks. My mobility is up to about 115% degrees outside of the CPM and the CPM is there just to keep my leg moving while I'm sitting around.
I'm driving again which makes me happy, and the wife as well. She doesn't need to shelp me around any longer.
I'm making good recovery, but I have to remember that the area where they replaced the cartlidge is still very soft and I even though I am starting to resume normal activities I still risk destroying everything if I go to fast.
