Physical therapy

Yesterday was Micah's first day of physical therapy. His new surgeon wants to try 1 month of physical therapy before deciding if he needs another surgery. They want to be sure that the tendons are not just weak. I am happy for the surgeons conservative view on surgery. I really don't want Micah to have to undergo another surgery if it can be avoided. His first day of physical therapy went well. They took it easy on him since it was his first day. They had him do about 45 minutes of light excersices and balancing and then they iced his leg and put electric waves into it. Micah will be going about 2 times a week for a month. On Friday they will begin doing more intense excercises.
