Thank-you for thinking of me, @turtle68 . I'm about the same. My knee is still swollen and there is still some pain-sometimes it's just a little pain and other times it hurts more than Motrin/Tylenol can take care of. I'm still using the ice machine all night long plus off and on during the day as needed. My ROM isn't great (it's generally 5/90, although it will get a little higher for a while right after icing) but I hope this swelling will soon subside and I can bend enough to ride my bike again when I have the energy. I still have very little energy-I tried to go shopping for fun the other day and lasted 20 minutes before I felt yucky and had to go home. If that store had electric carts I would have been able to shop longer, but without a cart I had to quit before my mind wanted to. I only had enough time to find a blouse I liked, try it on and go home. It's been just over 6 weeks and I'm really more than ready to have it all behind me and get on with living again.... And to frustrate me even more, my dang scar is starting to form a keloid in the same place it was before-I was hoping it would be gone and not come back after this surgery.
I see my OS again next week and will see what he has to say.
