If ditching the crutches were the first milestone on the road to recovery, I've passed the second today as the stitches (well, clips, actually) were taken out of my knee, two weeks to the day after surgery. It's a small thing, really, but they were really beginning to pinch when the joint was bending, so it was clearly time.
While I suppose I am making progress, in many ways- both figurative and literal- it feels like I'm trudging through molasses. I think it's one of those cases where daily progress is imperceptible, but in aggregate I am moving forwards. I only ditched the crutches eight days ago, and I recall quite clearly that walking without them was more of an effort than it is now.
I see the ortho and the physical therapist in a couple of days, when I'll get a more objective take on my progress thus far. Until then, all I can do is keep at the exercises.
