Dear Dr. Millett,
My knee is doing well. The specialist, Michael Solomon, I have been seeing here was impressed when he looked at the x-rays of your handywork and he has been pleased at my progress since my return to Sydney in March. I was non-weight-bearing until April 12, partially weight-bearing until May 24, after which I used a stick for about 2 weeks.
I am still going to physical therapy and I feel that it has been very beneficial. The only problems I have now are the stairs -going up and down one at a time. However, that is also improving. I walk well, with hardly a limp, although if I walk too far my leg feels as though it is swelling.
The physiotherapists who have been treating me have been impressed by my mobility and have concluded that it is partly due to my high level of fitness prior to the accident. They are also pleased with the degree of flexion (now 125, although I'm not sure if this is metric) and say that this is largely attributable to the early use of the CPM, as they have had problems with patients who have not been put on one.
If I had to have the accident at all, I am so glad that I had it in Vail, as I obviously had the best surgeon and the best medical care available anywhere.
Thank you so much for looking after me so well and doing such a great job on my leg.
Kind regards
Kay Vernon
Sydney, Australia
