I went to see Dr. Latshaw today, for my second post-surgical followup visit. I told him that my physical therapy brutes said he did good work and that I'm recovering well. My range of motion is great, and he gave me thumbs-up to do whatever I can do. The risk of re-injuring it at this point is very remote. I won't be pull-starting any lawnmowers at any time ever, but I've got a clean bill of health and don't have to go back to see him again unless I think I need to. He says I've graduated! He also called me young, which does me good considering I've had another birthday this week. :-)
I am also phasing out of my physical therapy and into home exercises only. I have another week or so of PT, and then my PT brutes will be history. Good deal!
I really am feeling good for the most part. I get my twinges here and there, but my baseline is pain-free, which I can tell you is a big improvement over before surgery (and post-surgery, too!).
