@johnbishop - You are a champ! In a few months this will all be behind you and you'll be zipping around like normal. Interestingly enough, I had the same physical therapist for this most recent knee that I used for the first TKR. But prior to my 2nd surgery, she had to check with her upper management to see if she could take me this time since - in the interim - she had taken special courses and now specializes in joint replacement for people who have lymphedema. They did let her take me since I was a prior patient. I was wondering - do you have a specialized lyphydema therapist?

@debbraw unfortunately comma I don't have a therapist. They released me into the wild for at home rehab. They've called me a couple of times to see how I'm doing and I've communicated with them through the patient portal. I'm not sure if my TKR surgeon has specialty in lymphedema but he's pretty good and my knee is healing nice so I'm a happy camper so far. I struggled this morning but I was able to get a pair of my regular compression socks on so the plan is to keep doing it until hopefully the swelling goes down and I get rid of these sausage toes ☺
