Got to admit, it's getting better...

Well, things have been going well. First of all, my physical therapist told me that I'm coming along nicely. He said it looks like I have full range of motion in my right leg and foot. For my left leg, he said he's gotta work my foot and ankle to bend up about 8 degrees more, and then I'll be all set there. However, I still need to work on getting my muscles back to where they need to be.

I also had a visit with my orthopedic surgeon, and that went well. He was a little concerned about the redness, swelling, and heat on my left leg. I was prescribed antibiotics and an anti-inflammatory. I'm still wearing the compression wrap on that leg, too. But all in all, I think he thinks things are coming along nicely.

So there it is... I'm walking around fine, and even ran up some stairs a bit today. I've got the itch to go running, but I know I have to hold back.
