CanadaHi Angel You will do fine just take your time. I did not walk the much of a distance that much at first knee is still recovering from all that happened with surgery and damage before. I still have to take it easier even at 10 weeks can walk for so long just short trips and it will tell me that time to sit and let knee have a rest. I still have times when my knee is tight still gets stiff but this is usually after going out for longer and now sitting enough. My surgeon told me just let my knee her do her thing no pushing just take it slow this was the surgeons prescription for my knee doing this is making a big difference. No pt for me he cancelled it for any further times he believes in just gentle walking no overdoing.
Last visit from her pushed so knee he could see was not handling this pt lots of pain and swelling no more of that very often now. I just saw your post you are bruised but that will go away I don't know why but I did not have any visible bruising but probably my bruising was inside still tender in places to touch and scar is still pretty sensitive but aside from that my knee is doing good. You have made it through surgery so well nice new knee just be careful knee is still healing and needs tender care so do you.
They told me when I had my first surgery the pt said if bend does not come now then something wrong my surgeon said and believes the opposite bend will come when ready still bend is not high but getting easier walking is doing great just get tired need rest when you do. he has the same values on the way to treat a knee as bonesmart following their methods will help you along the path slow gentle care will make it happy aggressive treatment which was how my right knee was handled by pt at the beginning or recovery did not work. The bend on my right knee did not come right away but now it is bending great just have to let it do it when it is ready took a year for the healing and swelling now surprised as it did come bend came when not thinking about it anymore never noticing that I was moving better. I wish you lots of happiness and hoping that you have a easy time with your knee
