This week, I've finally returned to a more or less normal workout regimen. I'm now alternating upper and lower body workouts with miscellaneous knee and shoulder rehab exercises on each day. Yesterday at PT started doing what you might call side lunges on the involved leg. Also did alternating lateral raises on each side to help improve balance and prioprioception in the involved leg. I was surprised doing these that I'll have to work a bit to regain a good sense of balance on the leg.
The PT cleared me for riding a stationary bike for as long as I'm comfortable. To this point, I haven't put in more than 15 minutes. After a session the other day, I was a bit sore afterwards, but that could be the resistance training too. I pushed 50#, barely, with the involved leg, being careful not to flex or extend too far. It might be better to go down to say 45# and shoot for more reps.
