Angle followed up on Wednesday morning with an update to his progress.

“So far so good,” Angle said of his recovery. “I start PT today.This is where I need to have a positive attitude and work extremely hard to get back to normal. But, normal is not something that I’m looking for. I want my knees to be exceptional. I’m always aiming higher to better myself, even at the age of 53.”
