Success!!!!

Well, with the help of my surgeon, Bridgett, my PT, and my wife, I was able to hike to Delicate Arch in Arches National Forest.  It was not a particularly technical climb, not spectacularly lengthy, but it was something that I would not have been able to do prior to my surgery.  And if I had managed to make it, I would have suffered for many days.
As it is, my hamstrings are sore and my quads area a bit tight.  The muscles around my knee that attach just below it, one of my quads and my IT band give me the most pain.  They were cut and moved the most during surgery and continue to be a bit bothersome.  I think I can see the potential of the new knees now.
Continued stretching and strengthening are going to get me well beyond my pre-surgical form.  I will continue to work hard and get to more that I was before the surgery!
Whoop!
