There are still more physical therapist visits left on the prescription from the surgeon, and our medical coverage allows for more, but this last visit, the PT did some measurements and testing, and declared that Judy had satisfied all the requirements for recovery. She’s done. The PT said if she came back any more it would be malpractice. There isn’t any more she needs to do.
As slow and painful as the recovery process seemed to us sometimes, she, the PT, said she had never seen a knee replacement go as well as this. A lot of credit to Judy for being so determined and persistent, but we’ll share some of the credit with the surgeon for doing such a fine job. An outcome this good starts with the work of the surgeon.
So at seven weeks post-surgery, Judy graduated. With honors.
