continuing on:
It's now just under 4 weeks since my last update: I'm walking without a crutch, but with some swelling and pain still in the knee. Flexion and extention have fully returned, but at the cost of pain at the extreme ends of both. I walk with a fairly prominent limp, which I hope will abate in time.
I'm set to see the physio after easter who should okay me to start going back to the gym with specific exercises on the legs.
