I started to think after last night's post that tbere isn't much to say.

This morning was the first day in a while that showed a drop in knee circumference. After a lot of walking today, Much discomfort. It actually feels a better after a bit of rest. Exhaustion wins - so off to bed. PT Tomorrow.

Getting up this morning was a bit easier as there was less discomfort in moving my legs and rolling over. Getting into the car seemed a bit more difficult though. As the day went on my legs were more fatigued. I guess the PT was a workout. I added a photo of the knee here on day 18 post-op for the curious.

A couple of hours after arriving at work, I began to feel the burn.

Just returned from first PT. Assessment was 105 degree of bend in left leg.

No measured change in knee swelling today but I'm beginning to see some knee-like shape returning.

Day 2 without crutches.

Didn't use the crutches at all today. Returned the rental, so back to the standard next week. I'm back to sitting being worse than standing as a cause of discomfort. A few changes this week. Overall the whole leg is a bit sore tonight but no specific knee pain. I noticed an interesting phenomenon. If I rub the medial side of the knee I get a tinge on the lateral side. I'll have to see if that continues.

End of the day update.

Swelling seems less this morning even though the number hasn't changed but pain level is up. I hope its just pieces re-aligning and its not a trend. Stay tuned.
