knee update!

So quick update for anyone wondering about my knee: I am walking and no longer using crutches for the last couple weeks! Yay! I do get sore sometimes walking long distances, and going down stairs is still not really an easy option, but I am walking, and that makes me excited. Today it was a little sore, which may be from the weather, or maybe the decision to try on heels the other night, but it is feeling better after physical therapy today. Last weekend I was set on putting a brace on and going hiking, but I realized that may not be the best idea quite yet. I'm hoping it doesn't get too cold before my knee gets strong enough to go on some easy trails! I won't be running for another month or more, but I can bike and hop on the elliptical occasionally. So slow and steady it goes, but that is better than not at all! I'm trying to be optimistic, and so far it is working out well. I'll keep you guys updated!
