A Milestone?

At the end of my physical therapy session, I was put on an exercise bike and told to turn the pedals around. I couldn't do it. The knee was too tight. The pain was too great. So I was then told to pedal as far as I could in one direction. Once I'd gotten the pedals as far as I could take them, I was to pedal in the opposite direction.

This did not sit well with me. I could tell that my knee was almost there, almost able to bend enough to allow full pedal rotation. I would try to push through it, feel the pains in my knee and stop.

Fuck it.

When they told me I could leave, the pedals were turning completely.
