Knee Surgery

Glad you made it through and on your way to recovery, Old Rooster!

19 days since surgery and not much pain anymore. The pain pills don't work anymore so I rely on the Ice Machine and man I love that machine!
Not a lot of pain after 1st week. Just when I try to sleep.
The P T lady said Friday that I am miles ahead of others that had knee surgeries around the same time as I always do more reps than everybody else.
I stopped using the walker at the end of 2 weeks and used the cane for a while and now I only use the cane is when I walk a long walk like in Costco or Walmart.
Like others I found that the first week is tough but after that it gets better.
All have a great day.

That is great Old Rooster! You should be an inspiration to others with upcoming replacements.

Successful recovery is simply a mental PT exercise as well. If you put "your mind" to it, there is no doubt recovery will go faster and your quality of life will return faster.

I had ZERO doubt of your success! Congrats and keep on truckin! Can't wait to hear your first day back at range!!

More or less what I expected for you! The extra PT pays off. Keep it up. You'll be back in the mtns in no time. Good job!

Glad to hear that you are recovering nicely. Keep up the good work and I am looking forward to hearing a report on your 6.5 loads once you are able to get out.
Take care buddy.
Have a merry Christmas!

It's real good to hear it's going well for you. I always found with my back that the first 4 days were the worst. Your recovery sounds a lot more like my wife's. She worked her butt off rehabbing and it helped. When I was cripple with my back I couldn't walk 40 yards without a cane but I would use a shopping cart in the stores. Worked better than a walker. Did your surgeon do a block? My surgeon will not use them. He says he's run into complications with them fairly often. My surgery is scheduled for March 10th but they feel like they can get me during the 1st week of February. I'm really hoping they can.
