It's been a while since I've updated. First I lost my Internet connection totally. Then my hosting provider took me off-line for a couple of weeks. (needless to say, I'm migrating to a new provider). Fortunately, (for who?), I have a number of posts saved from notes that I will backfill. But enough of that. Summary. My knee continues to get stronger as does the supporting muscles (Thanks PT!). The swelling seems to be fully gone. I've been without my knee brace for about a week. I'm starting to climb and descend stairs. I'm amazed. More details as I get back into daily posting.
