Well today is two weeks from the surgery. Pain was bizarre for me the first week. Manageable the second week.
After 10 days or so the bruises and the bone pain started to die out. I don't think I have any pain from the incision. Feels like joint pain in the missing knee to me?
Now after 2 weeks the pain is not pain, but maybe more of an ache. Really bearable. I am down to one Tylenol 3 per day, to help me with my exercises. No oxy.
Tomorrow I get the staples removed, and see the PT crew for the first time.
I walked down the driveway today, maybe 75 yards, and it was pretty easy with the walker. I can bend my knee maybe 45 degrees. My quads have very little strength. The knee is very stiff, but I feel I am making appropriate progress. Wish progress was faster, but I am happy that each day had progress.
I have high hopes that I will make rapid progress in the rehab. I think my body is healed up after 2 weeks, so this will begin the rehab chapter.
Thanks to everyone for their experiences and advice.
