K+49 days (7 weeks post surgery!)

Today was 100% crutch free! By the end of the day my knee and leg was very tired but I made it all day without the crutch. So as long as I don't have any set backs I am crutch free.

2.5 hours of spin bike and 200 strength reps today.

Wow I can't believe that 7 weeks has gone by. Time flies, I am sure not for you though. I really hope the recovery is going well and things continue to get better and you are back to running soon. Best of luck.
