Mom's therapy session in the gym yesterday was outstanding! A goal after knee replacement is to get where you can bend your leg to a 90 degree angle. That usually happens by bending it a little at a time and gradually over time reaching the goal of 90 degrees. Mom bent her knee all the way to 83 degrees yesterday! The first first time she went to the gym for therapy. She is just doing wonderful.
She'll leave the hospital today and check into Shelby Ridge Rehab Select. The norm is to stay at a skilled nursing facility like this for 3 weeks but she is doing so good that the talk is she may only be there 1 week.
I had several comments yesterday about how Mom just looks and sounds like Mom so soon after the surgery. Let me remind you...she is one tough cookie ;)
