2 Weeks Post-Op

I should have posted this on Thursday the 13th, but I have had a crazy busy week and did not even have a minute to get to it.  Let's start with some pictures though.  These were taken on Thursday, exactly 2 weeks post-op.

                                                        
                                   The incisions are looking great and healing nicely.

         The swelling has gone down significantly and my knee is starting to look normal again.

                         I still have some nasty bruising on the back, which I was told is the
                                         residual blood from the drilling they had to do.


As for my recovery....it's going great.  Much better than expected.  I can walk upstairs no problem and downstairs slowly.  I have been going to the gym and gradually working up my time on the bike which I can now make complete revolutions on.  Still icing every time I have the chance.  I also started PT this week.  They were surprised at how well I'm doing.  Before PT on Thursday I went to the gym and hit the bike for 40 minutes....apparently that is a lot for  2 weeks post surgery.   I'm not pushing it, just listening to what my knee is saying.  I was taking Advil during the day and a Naprosyn at night, but I'm even done with that.  I woke up this morning thinking, I forgot to take both my Advil and Naprosyn yesterday....oh well, just thinking of it as another milestone on my road to recovery.  I'm not being naive, I know I still have a long road ahead of me, that may have a bump or 2, or 3, but for now I'm taking it day by day.  I'm happy with where I'm at and looking forward to my active future.
