Hi Buffi, just dropping by to see how you are doing. Super-well, I'd say! Wow, going back to work, shopping, cooking AND practically running on the treadmill! Don't think I could do all that and I had my surgery the same day as you.
Re the mid-line thing, as others say it depends on what your OS says. I wasn't given restrictions at all, and I started sleeping on my side normally (ie without a pillow between my legs) a month after surgery, so my knee is dropping over the mid-line every night, but with no ill-effects. But I can't cross my legs when sitting, and haven't for years, so if I never do that again I'm not bothered (it's not good for circulation anyway). And, Judy, if you read this, I am now doing a Tai Chi move that involves bringing the operated knee across the midline, turning the foot inwards before placing it on the floor - I'm sure this would be a no-no with a lot of OS's, but fortunately not with mine.
