Total knee replacement surgery day 15. Graduated from walker to cane at the end of last week and now am approved for totally unassisted walking. Had my last in home PT appointment today. Achieved a Range of Motion of 105%. First PT appointment at the clinic is Tuesday. Therapist took me out to walk outside on the sidewalk and in the yard - she was pleased that I didn’t fall on my ass. So was I. Haven’t had a single fall. Scar looks much less gnarly and seems to have closed up completely at this point. It’s still a visible ridge down the middle of the knee, but according to the PT, it looks really good for being only two weeks post-op. Still icing and elevating. Pain management is ibuprofen and herbal supplements. Probably won’t be cleared to drive until my f/u appt with the Ortho.

Considering how shitty I felt the first two days post-op, I’m feeling better about knee number two later this year.
