 wave Saw my surgeon on Tuesday and he gave the ok to step up the pace on my exercises since the thigh swelling had decreased. He explained that the hardness in my thigh was caused when blood from the surgery pooled there after the drain fell out. I wouldn't have had that issue if I'd had a drain. I'm not able to bend the knee too well BUT I am walking very well for which my therapist is quite pleased! I walked down to the corner of my street twice this afternoon(trying to take advantage of no snow or ice). I saw my home care nurse today and she released me from care and though I still have a physical therapist coming to see me I will now be able to leave the house for more than just doctor appointments. Sooo hopefully I can get out soon to see Beauty and Unity! YIPEE! MAK is on the loose!  Grin

Well, both my therapist and I were concerned about how hard it was to get my newest knee bending. Just the beginning of last week it measured at only 62 degrees. After having to basically sit on my butt and elevate it my first week home because of swelling and blood pooling in my thigh (and let scar tissue take over). I'm happy to say I have made a break through this week working through the pain and stiffness to do my exercises I was able to bend my knee to 90 degrees today! My therapist and I breathed a collective sigh of relief and fist bumped each other. Anything past 90 is a bonus! Thank you Lord. Amen! Smiley

Happy for you, MAK! I was concerned about you not exercising and bending the knee as much as you should postoperatively because of your problems but 90 is good! Keep up the good work!

Congratulations, MAK!  That is good news.  That's what I call togetherness...you and Beauty doing "rehab" together!  Will you be able to fly after your rehab?
