4 weeks post op checkup

[misscheer]

Went to the OS today, he said my knee looks great my range of motion and straightening is great. Took an xray and all was great. He told me I can do what ever I want I am exercising at home no outpatient PT. Told me to exercise all I want, I have a bike and a pool so I am all set. I see him again in 6 weeks, I am off the coumidin and just so excited to be getting my life back. I feel great and I know it is still a long recovery but I get better everyday. I am doing housework and laundry things I never thought I would miss doing. the pain is a lot less and I just feel great. Looking forward to doing my long walks again I am shooting for September to do them. I am walking pretty far now with not much pain. I am happy that I have had it done, no more everydaypain.

GREAT NEWS!!
I know you are so happy. I go Thursday for my 3 week post-op checkup.
I am not yet doing laundry, ( my hubby washes the clothes, I fold) and the only food I have yet to prepare is a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
One step at a time. I try not to get impatient as there is improvement almost daily. But is sure is hard. I hope my OS is okay with my accomplishments as well. I am hoping to go back to work in 2 weeks or so. Will have to wait and see.
Again, congratulations!!!

I had my 4 week post op today too! I had 110 ROM with pain. I had a tough PT visit today too - I actually started crying!

My doc is laiton but said to use the crutch until I felt confident walking. My quad had had a rough time coming around so my knee still isn't as stable as it has been.

I got a refill on my pain meds and will use them whenever I do PT for sure. I also still need them by late afternoon and evening.

But I am encouraged!

Congratulations on your recovery!
