Log leg is beginning to leave me. Focusing on fluids. Still not much of an appetite. PT was here. It was gentle. Napped after. My BP is very good.
I think it is because she saw me toeing in more, even with sliders. She wants me to use a shoe horn. It seems my right leg toes in more, now that I have a correct-shape femoral head, or maybe I learned it as part of my compensation, pre- surgery? She would rather I toe out, than in. I have to keep a towel rolled up between my legs when resting, too.I wonder though why your PT would want you in socks rather than shoes.
I agree with Stripey. I prefer shoes over the surgical socks because I like the arch support and extra skid resistant bottom. Also for me the shoes are easier to get on and off.

Not a bad idea, thank you. Amazingly, the swelling has gone down quite a bit. It Is easier to move now. I do not need the leg lifter to lay in my bed, although most of the time I am in the recliner.I had actually measured my leg circumference, just above the knee, on both legs to compare when the swelling got bad!

I did measure. Day 5 and now only 1/4-1/2” difference.Amazingly, the swelling has gone down quite a bit. It Is easier to move now.
