In our progress.

Thanks to simple bad luck, I took a spill on a bike ride today. The bike's fine and nothing I had in my backpack got squashed or broken. I ended up with a bit of a skinned knee, but hey, skinned knees keep you young. Though the problem seems to be more than skin deep.

My left knee can support my weight by itself if I stand on one foot. I can run through pretty much all of my usual physical therapy routine - taking breaks, moving slowly, with reduced range of motion for some of them, like not being able to lift my left leg up as high as my right. If I keep it in one position for a while, it needs some movement to loosen back up. It's fairly on-brand that I didn't think until well into the evening to use any of the ice or gel packs I have in the freezer.

It's not that I knew this exact thing would happen to me. It's that this is why I've kept with the PT routine at least one a week.
