I'm now 12 days out and feel great for the most part. PT felt so good today that I over did it and have some swelling for the first time, so I'll be attached to the chilled water gizmo 24/7. I don't regret overdoing it...the movement was great and I felt human again. My therapist made the mistake of saying how well I was doing. Of course that made me want to do more. Lesson learned. She measured me at 112 degrees, so I'm pretty pleased.
I'm finding that I do best when I do absolutely nothing except remain horizontal as much as possible. Except for walking to the kitchen or den, my ONLY activity is when I go to PT. So far it seems to working well for
