richy things are going pretty damn good. 7 days out had my first in home phy therapy and she was practically throwing away the walker. see the doc tomorrow and the pain is now very manageable. i use a heating pad on the knee when i wake up to get the juices going for the pt and walking. i enjoy what i call counter walking. using them for stability rather than a cane or walker. pt gal suggested it. one thing i missed was not to let the pain progress past 4 cause it takes a ton more time to lower it back. wow big difference. as a side i had explosive diareah from the hospital drugs two days home. hope your symptoms are mild too. am very happy i did this. 671,000 knees in the usa last year alone. talk with you later bud. dave
