Hello to all came home on the 30th after Bi Lat Knees on the 18th, had to stay an extra day because of blood issues but that was cleared up. Nothing like being back home. Everyone was surprised I did both at the same time, yes it was a lot of pain to deal with at once but if I had to make the same choice I would do both again, all the hassles with the hospital and then I went to rehab for a week. I have my flex pushing 100 deg but my leg straightness is at 15 deg which needs to be 0, so that is what I am working hard on. In home therapy 3 times a week for 4 to 5 weeks. Using a walker and my Dr said use it until I feel 100 % comfortable without it, then a cane. He said he had a patient quit using the walker too soon and fell and broke his incision open. I do not put any weight on the walker just a safety. Each day a little more movement and a little less pain. What a great feeling to walk and not have that constant bone on bone grinding pain. I will deal with the surgical pain as I know that will be gone over time. Good luck to all
