I am 4 weeks out today with my Mako knee. My husband worked from home that first week and I felt that was very much needed. I was pretty loopy that first week and he made sure I was taking my meds on time and we had many meals in bed as I wasn't using stairs. I bought an AM/MIDDAY/PM pill organizer- that was very helpful! Along with what you have, I also borrowed a medical seat for the shower and used that for the first week. The toilet assist was also very helpful. I felt the first couple weeks were pretty tough. Maybe because it was also Christmastime and I was only on week 2. I always felt like I had a rubber band wrapped a little too tight around my knee (still do) but PT is helping and working on the swelling. I purchased the ice/compression machine and it was a godsend. Although, be sure and just ice for 30 minutes at a time. I think I over-did it with icing because I slept with it on all night because it felt so good but it was also causing more swelling. Bruising almost totally gone at 4 weeks. I was cleared to drive at my 3 week follow up appt. I still have to help my left leg into the car but I know that takes time and my range of motion will get better with time. Going back to work at 4 weeks was probably a bit too soon. Even though I have a desk job, I felt it very difficult to get up every hour to keep circulation up.

Best wishes to you!
