@debbraw They gave me an antiseptic wash that I had to use for three days prior to surgery!

I could basically drive when I got off of narcotics, but I think there was a slight time restriction too, I forget how long that was, maybe 3 weeks. I really liked my home therapist, he was great, but I wanted to drive so that made that decision.

I could drive but only for short distances at first. It hurt my knee to stay in any one position for over 10-15 minutes at a time so it affected my driving THAT way. Very frustrating because I could physically drive....the knee worked ok for that but the darn stiffness and soreness would set in. UGH
