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.
