Probably but my surgeon's recovery protocol is to be a couch potato the first week and use a walker so while I feel like I can walk I have very much limited it so far. I am now on my 7th day post surgery and I have an appointment tomorrow with my surgeon's PA for next steps. His normal protocol is to start physical therapy in the third week but I am thinking we might accelerate that at tomorrow's meeting since he did accept my challenge to be on the golf course when it reopens. But, alas, I missed the date so I now want to be able to play golf on Tuesday October 28th. Unfortunately, I haven't had a torquey golf swing in years so I won't be putting a lot of strain on my knee and it is my back knee.

When I start PT my two initial stated goals will be:
(1) regain flex (being a couch potato I haven't worked on that yet)
(2) Learn how to walk (I spent the last nine months misaligned and lopsided; now I have to learn how to walk again. I used to walk 3-5 miles a day and I want to get back to that.

My longer term goal is to rebuild my body tone which I have lost because of the pain from the knee.
