Leslie, I'm so very happy for you - remember - slowly - don't over do and by all means use those ice packs.
At physical therapy this past Thursday my PT took out The Step - you should have seen the expression on my face - LOL. Jennifer, one of the aids said I had the face of a kid in a candy store. I was so happy!!! My PT says, "Iris, you must do this very carefully". He gave me these two ski pole looking things to hold on for balance. I did a very slow basic step, mostly on my bad leg and as I was doing it I started going up and down with a slow rhythm at first, but with the background music playing I found myself going to the beat of the music and before I realized it I wasn't using the poles. IT FELT WONDERFUL, GREAT, EXCILLERATING - get the picture!! Of course yesterday I was a victim of being very sore but I didn't dwell on it. I'm slowly coming back, so I know exactly how you feel Leslie. My quads are being worked like gangbusters which is helping big time. I'm going to attempt to do a slow version of basic stepping and see how I feel. Leslie, keep us posted and I'll do the same. Many of you have read my dilema with my knee since my surgery in October.
Take care darlings,
Iris, on the way back to a stepping fool - LOL.
