Terryk: Glad you are progressing.
I had my knee replacement done 2 years ago and I am so glad I did.
The ordeal of the operation itself and the painful recovery were well worth it.
I attended physical therapy 3 times a week for 14 weeks and every morning my first thought upon awakening was to pray it was not a physical therapy day (Monday, Wednesday or Friday!).
My physical therapy, I am certain, helped my recovery though - but I dreaded it to the max.
There was one machine the therapists hooked me up to and ran for 20 minutes that was just excruciating.
In fact I held the record for the loudest scream in this large Physical Therapy Clinic for 8 weeks!
Finally a lady college basketball player achieved a new record scream whilst she was attached to the same "machine" I had set my record on.
To this day I don't even like to drive down the street that Physical Therapy Clinic is on!
It is my understanding that the tourniquet needed during the operation is in use for 23 to 27 minutes - I had no "quad paralyzation" - maybe your tourniquet was on a bit longer than mine?
I am glad you are getting better and have kept your sense of humor.
Keep up with the therapy and best wishes to you.
Hold into the wind
