I'm not sure how long I'll be in physical therapy. I actually have my last appointment of the eight my doctor prescribed today, then I go back to my doctor on Friday. My therapist is going to request another month I think. I'm at the point now where I can make a 10-block round trip walk to the store and back, which is a pretty big deal, but I end up limping and in pain. My knee will bend to the point that I can get my foot up onto a chair I'm sitting in but only with help from me pulling it up and some significant discomfort, and I can't tolerate it for long. This is really a huge improvement for me, since when I first started the physical therapy a month ago I could barely manage a 40-degree angle, and that was agonizing, drawing it up an inch at a time with tears running down my cheeks. I still could barely put much weight on the foot at all because of the pain at that point. Somehow it doesn't sound like your injury will be that much of a problem though.
