How does your knee feel once it reaches the year of recovery?

Of all the exercises I do in PT the one I am terrible at is balance. They have me stand on one leg and try to do that without touching anything for 30 seconds, then the other leg, then again two more times for each. I fail this exercise on both legs. Maybe one of the six times I manage to finish without touching anything. The rest of the time I have to touch something when I start to lose my balance.
On the other hand, the PT tells me my gait is fine.

@steveinarizona That has to be frustrating! I do the same exercise. It feels like it's getting stronger. Some days I can do it without holding on to something, other days not. This gait situation is almost worse than the surgery itself. All I know to do is keep doing the exercises and hope they are working. I have started exercising right after I get up, hoping that it will help the stiffness. Thanks for sharing.
