I am glad you are getting plenty of sleep, @sewhat ! It's good for us and I think plenty of sleep helps us to heal. I have been sleeping a lot lately because I have been taking more pain pills than I did at first. Thanks for mentioning pills because I forgot to take my pills (other than pain pills) until I read your post, and I need to arrange my pill packets too. Good for you to be remembering your pills; especially that Parkinson's medication, which sounds pretty important.
For me, the knee bend seems to depend a lot on how much swelling is going on and on how much time has passed since the surgery.
I think most people have bruising, although in my case I don't see much. Just one, maybe one inch by two inches, located about six inches to the left of the incision and it is faint and mostly gone; just looks like a little dirt that I need to wash off, but it doesn't wash off.
