This truly has been a much more difficult roller coaster than I could ever imagine. Here's my progress right from the day of the operation (right total knee replacement) to today (day 5 post surgery).

NEWS UPDATE: between the recording and the publishing of this podcast I achieved 90 degree flexion, a new PB! Yay! 

Today is surgery day. So there was the strict instructions for breakfast, the shitty shower of chlorohexidine and then theres the sheer terror that I am feeling inside. 

Reporting to the hospital at 10:30am. Wish me luck. 

This weekend was a pulic holiday weekend, with labour day being Monday 22 October. It is also the last weekend I have before becoming temporarily disabled, so we made the most of it with a weekend away. 

My Knee replacement takes place Tue 23 October PN, NZST. Follow my progress here: http://www.facebook.com/MelRydingPT

As the day of the knee replacement nears, I had a pre-op clinic appointment this week. Here is how I went, along with some clips from what we talked about. 

It has been a bit of a whirlwind week this week. Much to sort, much to do, and spring has buggered off again temporarily!

I recieved a call last week that changed the course of my next few weeks.  

Its been a month since my last one.. oops! Sorry! But, here is the last month's update along with a few sound clip guessing games!
