I am actually 13 days post op. Had a set back last weekend due to complications from tourniquet. Saturday five hour round trip to ER for ultrasound to be sure swelling not caused by a blood clot. Bruising from tourniquet has been the monster. Quad was a black and blue knot of hate and pain. Have had to re-set my head a couple times....A lot of suckage... I go back in to see him Tuesday so all I can hope/expect is small improvements daily. Need swelling to go down and bruising to heal in order to start, yes start, PT on the knee.... Is why I have been quiet.

Three weeks today. Still using a cane but less and less every day. Just takes time, but it will be much better than before this surgery. That I can already tell. As long as I re-set my own head when needed, it is OK.
Started with new PT group. Very prim and proper thirty something doctor of PT did assessment and I have once a week with her for six weeks. We were oil and water first meeting.... Maybe that is what I need. (I was told I made an inappropriate comment) This ought to be good... And begin once a week aqua therapy with a different PT this week too.
