Next surgery

Hi all
I saw the surgeon today (4 weeks 5 days post op). He was really happy with my progress and has scheduled the next op for November 9th. Hope it goes as well as the first one!
Today I did my longest walk so far - 1 hr! I am pretty tired now, but stoked that I could do it! I also walked some stairs (and forwards too!) - it is amazing how different my legs feel - the left feels weak but 'normal', and the right feels awful! It feels like it fills with lactic acid, and that there is a tourniquet around it - which I guess isn't too far from the truth.

Well 3 weeks to go til I have to go through all of this again, but at least after the next one it will be onwards and upwards from there!
