Quiet here + Dons Carticel implant and TTT

[Guest guest]

Progress is slow, but steady. I go to 70 degrees of flex today.

So, I have gone from 52 degrees Nov 16 to 70 today (two and a half

weeks)

The PT thinks that I will make big progress after I get to some

point. we don't know what that point is, but he thinks about 90-100

degrees. The good part is that I am having lass and less pain in

the knee itself.

I am still only 25% weight bearing. The pT says that this means

only toe touches. I go to the OS on the 11th and we will see if he

lets me progress with the weigh bearing.

The OS has really gone to bat for me with the insurance company

also. They denied the claim for a CPM saying I could only have it

two weeks. The OS talked them into 8 weeks and maybe more. He told

me that if the insurance won't go past eight weeks he will ask the

equipment company to let me have it another few weeks for free.

That's about it for now.

Oh. If anyone needs to be on crutches, be sure and use the forearm

crutches. They are great.
