Balance and Strengthening

Today's physio brought new balancing exercises into my daily routine and tougher strength training ones for my quads. One exercise has me dropping my shoe and bending over to pick it up while standing on my bad leg without bending my knee. Quite a bit more difficult than it sounds.

Apparently the more muscle I have before surgery, the easier the physio is after surgery. A lot of the muscle will die off during surgery, hence the more I have before, the more I'll have after.
