120 degrees of flexion

[CaliforniaPeggy]

My knee got to that today...

It's nothing all that special. Most folks get a lot further...

But...........it didn't hurt.

And that was a first!

My physical therapist says he can't believe how well I'm doing!

1. Yay!

Nice going. It's tough to get the bend back in a new knee.

Glad it didn't hurt, too much.

2. My dear libodem!

Thanks!

That was the thing: this time, it didn't hurt. It always has before...

I really want my flexibility back!

Looks like I'm going to get it.

Thank you...

Hush, child - We'll tell you what's special and that's you and
what you're doing.

My bet? Two more weeks and you'll have 360 degrees of flexion!!!

7. What's 'flexion'?

I'm in PT for my knee (arthroscopic) and I just hit 90 degrees yesterday. I don't remember that word coming up.

8. Flexion is bending.

I was able to bend my knee to 120 degrees from being straight. Flexion is the opposite of extension.

Does that help?
