Nearly Back to Normal!

I am so happy that I am getting back to where I was before my knee injury and surgery. Today, 4 1/2 weeks after surgery, I did a walk of about 80 minutes which involved 15 minutes of level, 20 minutes uphill, 30 minutes down ( I go slowly down and use my hiking poles even more) and then 13 minutes of level and finishing by going up a short steep hill to my house. I was so elated. My knee was hurting when I started and was hurting a little when I finished but nothing I could not handle so came in and iced it for 20 minutes. Now, if I can get to where I can do this daily for 18-20 miles then I will be very happy! And I was so pleased not to have stopped at all going uphill!
