Recovery from knee replacement going along well. It’s only been 8 days since surgery, and already I’m back up to walking 8/10 of a mile (might be able to make a whole mile today). It’s a far cry from the 6-miles-a-day regimen I was on before surgery, but I’m pleased with the progress. Having in-home Physical Therapy 2x/wk for another 2-3 weeks. Then, on to out-patient PT. My husband, Alan, has been a real trooper! He has kept up all the dishes, and laundry, and kept my knee iced and elevated, which has helped considerably with reducing the swelling. I quit the pain pills day before yesterday. Just using Tylenol now. Constipation issue caused by pain meds is now resolving itself. Haven’t had as much of an appetite as usual, but forcing in at least 100g Protein (for wound healing) and 25+ grams of Fiber. Overall, I’m pleased with the progress I’ve made in just a little over a week.
