Another month on, and i can happily say that i can finally feel my leg starting to feel like a leg again!
The strengthening exercises i am doing for my quad muscle are really beginning to pay off.
Although i can still not support all my weight through my left leg in a walking movement, i can now stand for short periods of time on my left leg stationary.
The support my quad is giving my knee is also something that i am noticing more every week.
My knee feels a lot more stable when i a moving around now.
Still a long way to go yet, but finally i am actually feeling some improvement!
I can feel when i lie on my left side that there is definitely something not right with my left hip, and i am sure that this has to do with the pin in my upper leg protruding out of the top of my hip joint.
Something that hopefully will be removed from the equation next February!
I have started doing calf raises at the gym and also added Adductor and Abductor exercises on the machines.
I've also started swimming again every other day in the gym pool for a bit of cardio exercise.
Its almost December now, so just 2 months remain til my op. I am hoping that by that time i am almost walking without my crutches.
Time will tell though. It's all about exercising and strengthening for now...
