That's much more helpful! Thank you.
I can clearly see the irritation where the bandage was. Listen to your Mom. These reactions normally appear pretty soon in the recovery process, but it's not unheard of for them to pop up a bit later like yours has done.
Your incision looks very good. It's healing nicely.
You do have a lot of swelling yet, so be sure and ice your knee as much as you can. Just be sure to keep a kitchen towel between your skin and the ice source so you don't damage the skin. Ice helps with pain and discomfort too. You can even ice when you're sleeping. Also, don't forget to ice the back of your knee as swelling occurs there too.
Congratulations on your weight loss! What an accomplishment.
