I'm 10 days post op and following the Bonesmart way. I passed all the goals for home pt. I kept telling her no new exercises and no pushing on me. She respected my wishes. My doctor was on board with the idea of the first two weeks being mainly about rest, healing and controlling swelling. I've been married to the ice machine lol
Without doing anything to straighten knee, surgeon magically had me flat at discharge and I have stayed flat. I do ankle pumps and gentle slides. For flexion. I got back to 90 degrees from 75 after the first pt pushed on my leg. So, the current pt said I could use a cane except at nights or tired. All in all, pretty happy at 10 days. I get the stitches out Wednesday.
