Tuesday, 23 Sept. Swelling is down significantly. 

I think that the post I put up yesterday did not make it somehow. Oh well. 

The knee itself is still swollen but compared to Sunday and even yesterday, I can

sense more flexibility and less fluid inside the knee. The exercises prescribed are being done at a higher rate that those suggested and for the moment am getting around  rather well and developing more confidence.  It recalls the numerous knee injuries that I have had in the past, as far as the swelling and the time taken for the swelling to come down. In this respect, it feels like any other knee injury, however, I do know that this is different.

This is a picture of the knee as it is yesterday. Four holes. The promised three, so I'll have to ask what the fourth one is. 

As far as mobility, the two end points of extension and contraction are the areas where there is the most sensitivity. I'm able to double the leg to about 85% now and I suppose, due the swelling, it will not let me go further. On the other end, total extension is less problematic. However, at the full extension, I can feel the stretch quite noticeably. Going up stairs is not a problem, going down, I do have to steady myself and the leg will not quite give the security of movement that I need. Walking around the house, about 85% right now. 

Drove to get supplies yesterday. No problem driving. Getting out of the car, just a little as the brace was on. 

In general, not too bad in my opinion for the progress so far. The problem as noted before will be recovering cardio-vascular conditioning and muscle mass.
