Thats right !! Toes above nose . And ice those puppies like no ones business. All day and night if possible. Make it a mission not to miss a scheduled dosage. Medcoach is a excellent free phone app just for that. Dont overdo it as far as exercises. Patience is a virtue . The first 2 maybe 3 weeks feel like the twilight zone but things will get better. This is major surgery and needs to be treated as such. Do not allow a therapist to push or bully you. Be aware of the treaded constipation, prunes,bananas and miralax were my savior . Best of luck , Iceman
