@sherrym25 I do have recliner and I did try ice last night. I undid my brace and put my moldable ice pack on the area and then secured my brace. It did help.
I guess I am wanting too much too soon. This is the toughest surgery I have ever been through. Thanks for your encouragement! Have a great weekend!

Give yourself two full years post surgery. Keep moving!
