This prior Thursday I went to see the doctor about my recovery. He told me that yes the swelling is still bad. However, my knee was on the mend at 2x the rate he expected. Yes it istill hurts to bend too far or very often.

However, I have been doing TKD/HKD isometic style kicking through a standable range of motion while sitting. My goal is to be able to return to class the last week of Feb. and go to our National Convention in Cape March 16,17,18.

Since yesterday I have been out of my leg immobilizer and back into my regular leg brace. The nice thing about it is that I can tell the surgery helped with a lot. Just can't do anything about stability without the total joint replacement.

Oh well such as life.

Take it easy and don't push yourself to the point of injury again! I know, easier said than done.

Keep at it and you'll be at nationals no problem!

Matt, with your attitude about things in general, I never had a doubt that things would work out. Keep up the healing, go slow, and get better.
