Pain is slowly getting better. But what gets me, it’s my understanding most people are put on some kind of machine that gets their knee moving almost immediately after surgery. I just got to walk down the hall twice a day. PT comes tomorrow, a full week after the surgery. And I thought I might get some supplies, ie. a walker, toilet lift, something....I was sent home with a roll of tape and 3 gauze packs. That was it. I’ve been trying to do exercises I looked up on internet, but most I can’t due because quad muscle is toast, and I still can’t bend the knee. Doc doesnt believe in ice for swelling, says “ice creates water, water creates infection.”
So for a week it’s been swollen, and I can barely bend it. I guess I’m pissed more st the system. Luckily I had my dads old walker, or I really would have been screwed.
