Ok so at PT could really only get to 110 basically on my own. They really wanted 120 even if it meant PT pushing. But I felt too nervous today to do that. PT says to me I should have been at 120 at 4 weeks. I cannot even begin to tell you how bad that makes me feel about my progress. I feel like a failure. Like something is wrong with me. I did get 120 last week when aid pushed foot. I was so reactionary I ended up grabbing his arm afterwards. 

I guess i have a mental block when it comes to getting the measurement they need me to be at. Any ideas how to cope with this? I need to get ready for more of this by Thursday. 

I am teying NOT to sink into despair 

Thanks

    PT should be encouraging you!! Everyone is different and every knee is too. I wasn't close to that at all at 4 weeks. Not once did tell me I wasn't doing well. Keeep your head up, you are doing great!!
