@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 ☺

@johnbishop - I was thinking about you this morning. Glad you got your socks on! I'm kind of surprised that they aren't having you do outpatient physical therapy. I imagine if you wanted to, you could ask your OS to prescribe it. But if you feel like you are coming along okay without it, that works! For me, having the outpatient PT gave me a little more accountability. I might have slacked off a little bit more without it!
