A quiet day overall. I woke up stiffer than yesterday and spent some time walking around the house to loosen the knee. It was supposed to be a morning exercise day, but I skipped it. Instead, I did a few basic stretches and some quad activation.
Office day. Traveling by car is definitely easier now, but getting out after 40-50 minutes still feels awkward. Not painful, just strange. After lunch, the knee felt looser again. This seems to be happening more often now - that odd sensation where it feels like the muscles switch off for a while, then slowly come back.
Back home, ice, dinner, putting the kids to sleep. Later, some flexion exercises and a quick PowerDot session. Nothing special, nothing bad. A normal, quiet day, still making small progress.
Key Takeaways
- Morning stiffness is still a thing, but a short walk + light activation helps quickly.
- Sitting in the car for ~40-50 minutes still triggers that “awkward exit” phase.
- The knee can feel “offline” after being still, then improves once you move again.
- Even on low-effort days, flexion + a quick recovery routine keeps momentum.
