114 Degrees and 130 Degrees!

On Friday, Feb 21, 2020, I was able to get 114 Degrees of Flexion on my own and I matched the doctor's knee manipulation under anesthesia amount of 130 degrees when the physical therapist pushed me to major screaming levels!

I am shocked at the 130 degree flexion because I never thought I'd ever be able to get that far.  It may be the one and only time I will get this since the pain was so great when he pushed me that far!  Remember, the doctor was only able to get it when I was knocked out in the operating room.

Let's hope I am able to get that 114 degree number to at least 120 degrees.  This only happens after the therapist has "prepped" me by pushing on my leg several times first.  Each of those time are screaming times as well.

I'd say if I were just to try it on my own without any prep work, I probably can do only 90 to 95 degrees.

I still can't walk well though.  I walk terribly still.
