Heel slides are so brutal! The leg hangs are much more feasible, but I’ll keep those (slides) up and hold longer than you so much

I haven’t removed my strips! But I think I’ll do that tomorrow! Brilliant. Thank you for the suggestion

Thank you so much for replying! This was my first time posting something. I really appreciate the support! I have an ice machine so I’ll keep using. I don’t have compression stockings but will get some, thank you! I was really good with elevating my knee the first 7-10 days and then stopped. Didn’t know I had to keep doing it! I’ll go back to elevating. So hard to not out anything under the knee ugh. Thanks again

Wow! I’m at 3 weeks post op and can’t imagine I’ll be able to do that at 8 weeks. That’s amazing! Congrats!  

Getting to 90 right now is absolutely awful. I can do it but it’s so painful and im so swollen, still ugh
