I have a new knee. I'm still breaking it in, and will be out of circulation for at least another week or two.
The surgery had a couple of glitches; I developed pneumonia and had to stay in the hospital for a couple of extra days. I developed a rash because of one of my medications that went away after it was switched to another medication.
My knee's rehab is glacier-like. The work on increasing its flexibility is a trigger for my sciatica, so pain has been my faithful companion.
After two weeks I've moved from a walker to a cane and I am trying to do more for myself. As my physical therapist stressed, I need to measure progress in weeks and not days.
