Thanks Debra. The surgeon was happy the surgery went well and the knee was doing great but he was a little concerned about the ankle swelling and the possibility of an infection if I didn't start elevating, icing and moisturizing my legs. I told him I had stopped elevating and icing when my knee was feeling good and I could exercise on my recumbent bike more. I thought just because I was wearing the compression socks that should take care of the swelling like it did before the surgery. Guess my thinking was wrong so I'm heading to the fridge to break out the ice pack and elevate my foot for awhile ☺

@johnbishop - ok... keep those legs up and the ice on!
