October 17th - Post Op Rehab commences

Commenced rehab exercises as prescribed by physio. Physio involved exercises which I did after the first operation:

1)      Ankle movement (moving foot up and down to help blood circulation)

2)      Quad squeezing – 1 set of 10 (10 seconds each)

3)      Knee bending (using towel if required) – 1 set of 10 (10 seconds each)

4)      Straightening leg by resting heel on towel (did this for 10 minutes)

5)      Hamstring stretch by sitting down having legs straight and leaning forward – 1 set of 5 (20 seconds each)

6)      Standing leg raises with operated leg – 1 set of 10 (5 seconds each)

7)      Calf raises – 1 set of 15 or 20

I did these exercises generally 4 times a day.
