Well I am now nine days out. Home nurse came day eight to remove my special aqua-seal whatever bandage and check wound. That went great! Wound/ incision very straight and ok so far. No staples to remove as my incision was closed with glue as other TKR was. I was able to pull out my nerve-block stint without problem and returned pump device. Glad I had that extra pain management system for those first 84 hours post-surgery.
I was told to not immerse with water or scrub wound but otherwise shower rinse is fine. My first shower is this weekend.
I can't wait for that! Whew! Bruising remains in three places for this TKR but not getting any worse.
I still find it interesting how black and blue

I am this TKR as I had NO bruising with my 2019 RTKR.
Wednesday my blood pressure quite low and I felt pretty week/ nearly faint. That abated over 24 hours - back to normal.
Zinger pains have started. Yikes!

Familiar with them from before but this time starting sooner.
As the name indicates 'Zinger' pains are sharp and hit without warning, even while doing nothing or sleeping. Nerve endings regrouping and general healing process starting. Icing is helping with general joint pains.
Home PT has me doing some walking about in home just on cane. Most still on walker. Practiced stairs. Light foot peddling, squats, size to side, slides. Nothing too much. On site PT starts next week. Icing as needed!
Thank you for all of the support and info sharing here!
