Been almost a week since I posted so I thought I’d update. We left town last Wednesday for vacation in South Dakota. Lots and lots of walking. Used my cane to keep balance but did very well. The knee would swell up and get tight so I would sit down and rest. The trip lasted till we got home Monday. Had a blast even though I was limited. Had PT this morning, on my 6 week mark from surgery, and it went better than I thought. The exercises I struggled with and had to stop last week we’re actually fairly easy this week. Guess the walking helped a lot. Flexion was at 117° and extension was still at 0°. The pain has turned into soreness which is managed pretty well with Tylenol and ibuprofen. The only part that really drives me crazy is the nerves coming back awake. My skin feels like it’s on fire and hurts to touch. Makes it very difficult to wear pants. Even shorts bug me and I have to roll them up. This part has gotten much worse while the rest is getting better
