Have been working hard in rehab because I know what to expect since I've been through it before. I wasn't quite ready for the amount of pain with this one but since they were repairing a previous replacement, there was quite a bit more work to do. They had to shorten the ligaments on the outside of the knee as well as some other "stuff" that I don't know how to describe.

I get the staples out Monday, September 24th, two weeks from the day of the surgery. I counted the staples yesterday; there are either 36 or 38, I'm not sure which because I couldn't see the bottom of the incision. Looks like the surgeons did a great job and I'm looking for a better than normal recovery.

More info as I progress.


Thanks for all the encouragement from you, my Montana family.
