I have a kneecap that moves just like the other one!!!

Okay so we are .... almost 5 months post surgery (ACL/MCL Reconstruction) and I've made the amazing discovery that beneath the swelling and puffiness there is a kneecap!  Okay, its always been there but things are just looking a bit more normal. My ROM is coming along (-2) extension and 125 for flexion - YEH for me!  My physiotherapist has been pushing the extension and it seems to be working.  I'm heading back to see my OS on Monday.  I really thought I'd be further along at this point but I guess it's still early for the type of injury I sustained and surgery I had.  I was never a runner (well one 5km), but I really just want to move - faster than a walk.  I mentioned taking out my bike and my physiotherapist said "stationary ???" so I think that it may be a bit early.  Too cold since it is still snowing here today!  I'll stick to my stationary. Anyhow, I'll give everyone an update on Monday night after the next visit to the big city!
