Wednesday, Week 2

My knee is feeling much better than yesterday, although it has a ways to go still. Yesterday, every time I even took a single step, I had a blinding pain in my knee. Today, it's MUCH better. Last night I had a pillow under it, elevating it for most of the night. I got up only to get dinner, snacks, etc. I have my ace bandage on today, and there is MUCH less pain when I walk. I'm going to avoid steps as much as possible for the next couple of days and am going to rest it as much as I can. Also, I'm going to keep up with the Ibuprofen for today and tomorrow and will ice my knee whenever I can.

So, today is another total rest day. Tomorrow I'm going to get to some weights and perhaps some crunches, but nothing that will put a strain on my knee. After the knee is well, I will incorporate some leg raises with very light weight to help strengthen my knees. Another change that I'll make is that I'm not going to do weights and cardio on the same day (at least for the first month or so back). This will help give my different body parts rest throughout the week.
