Progress?

I'm still trying to figure out what the doctors were trying to figure out.  They probably have a better idea by now, and it happens that my daughter is going to visit the doctor for a sore shoulder.  While there, I'm sure my wife will chat him up about his thoughts on my recovery.  She missed the last appointment, which is too bad, because she has a good rapport with the entire staff.  I'm sure she'll get some information today.

The other things I'll get are the x-rays.  I spoke to the technician who will make a CDROM to give to my wife.  I'm very interested in comparing my x-rays over time and will add posts in order to show them.   I'm very interested in the latest set since it caused so much discussion last week.

Physically, I feel better than I did a couple of days ago.  I woke up this morning with a lot of stiffness/pain, but it has subsided.  Every once in a while I still get the intense 'knee' pain which still confuses me if it is really the knee. 

The doctors had me try to stand on my leg last week- and I somewhat chickened out.  It had been so long that I put weight on it that I was scared of falling.   So I've been doing a few attempts at putting weight on it.  It seems solid, but I haven't put my whole body weight on it yet.  I think I need a bar to hang from to really avoid the fear of falling instead of pushing down on my crutches or walker.
