Turned another corner
had a good physio session yesterday. Some of the muscles activated by the femoral nerve are working, some are still not. I can extend my leg against 1kg resistance! Physio says the nerve isn't recruiting all the potential muscle fibres, but as it regenerates, it will. If I keep trying, eventually the pathway will remap.
I woke up this morning, nothing really hurt. Got up and we spent the day working on the house. I walked around all day and was up and down steps.
Drove myself to an appointment for my DEXA scan, and got good news. I have lost 5kg since the last scan, and actually have gained muscle! The only bad news is that instead of 0% visceral fat, I had some! Only a little but still. The dexa tech said it could be just the lack of serious cardio for the last 3 weeks. I think it's fascinating that I have lost fat, gained lean mass and still deposited some visceral fat! So my goals between now and December are to take care of that!
Hipwise, I have also been walking around the house with no crutches sometimes. My knee gets tired and I have to be careful not to lock it, but all in all I feel almost like my old self today. Did an hour on the bike at the gym tonight and a few sets of weights.
Things are looking up!
