Recovering

I have started to make real progress today:
-I can lift my leg off the ground, i.e. my hips are activated.
-I can then quad extend about 15 degrees, so my quads are slightly activated.
-I can ham curl about 30 degrees.
-And I can walk without crutches in a straight line!!!

Forget 225lb bench presses, I can move my leg!

I've been tracking my vitals as well (pre surgery/post surgery):

heart rate: 59/71
body temp: 98.1/99.1
body weight: 203/197
left knee size: 15"/17.5" (2.5" of swelling!)

I am constantly sweating, I can feel that my metabolism is in overdrive trying to heal this puppy.

Here's a pic of me in the jobst pump, a great tool that i recommend.
