Debbie update...

Debbie update...  Short version: she's doing great!  She's walking now without any aids, and her gait visibly improves daily.  Her physical therapist has started preparing her to do her remaining therapy at home – he and his special equipment will soon be unnecessary.  Yesterday, for the first time since her injury in May, she used a normal treadmill for her exercises – a huge step!  She came home with a detailed printed set of exercises to do at home, with an emphasis on developing her bones.  She's still got a long way to go to get her muscles (especially her quads) back up to snuff, and her knees are still sore after exercise, but everything's moving in the right direction, and she's got nearly a normal range of motion in both knees.  She has very few activities that she can't do yet, but I think that list will be empty within just a few weeks...
