Weeks of May 4th –16th: Physical Therapy is now once every other Monday. ROM really good, 132 degrees knee flexion—where it’s supposed to be. Leg Workouts still every Saturday morning (which it has been for around 20 or more years, then rehab on Mondays with Physical therapist and on Thursdays by myself. Last Monday Jeremy started me performing single leg squats—non-supported. It showed me just how far I have to go, still very weak and atrophy still in the vastus lateralis.
