John @johnbishop - I think your "pre-hab" was a Godsend - just like mine especially on my 1st TKR. Sounds like you are doing great. Just FYI, my surgeon told me that pain in the "other" leg is not uncommon since that opposite knee & hip are having to do all of the heavy lifting so to speak. I bet when you get a little further into recovery, that hip pain will ease off.

Debbra @debbraw -- I hope the hip pain goes away on it's own ☺ It hasn't been too bad going up the stairs today. I'm just happy I'm able to sleep OK at night with no knee pain. After talking with the nurse on Tuesday when I took a sick day off to elevate and ice more, I made a plan to do it at least 3 to 5 times a day for 20+ minutes for the rest of the week...so far, so good ☺ Even got my zippered compression socks on so am hoping it will help with the swelling.
