    So I felt great until PT decided my pelvis was tilted - duh yeah I have been overusing the opposite side as the surgery - so they changed up my pt adding a lot of “action” movement and the knee has been on the warpath for the past 48 hours. They have corrected the change up but I’m not sure...

    Eleven days post and the blues were definitely creeping in yesterday on my 62nd birthday. But milady sent me a commercial grade bubble machine!

    I thought inactivity was stiffening the knee more but just took my second shower since surgery and it was soooo much more flexible and thus easier in and out of tub shower. Must be doing my gentle exercises lightly has been helping! the hospital’s push app got me slightly off track again - it...

    Today has not been painful as much as uncomfortable. Left hip is spasming from over use so heat on it while icing flows to knee. Just can’t get comfortable. Perhaps it is concern over seepage - soaked bandage under the pressure seal with one break out drip that made my ankle. Pics to doc and he...
