@bushy allow me to call in the troops so we can keep you moving by bringing @babette @ellerbracke @bill54321 and @lecoeur13 into the conversation. It's tough not to be able to get PT as you're recovering from knee replacement, but you've got fellow members to help and offer tips. I modified the title of your discussion to attract more attention.

Additionally, here are some discussions that you might find helpful:

I am doing flexion exercises and stretching. Don't have access to a stationary bike but perhaps I canstart riding my bike-(I'm on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State-so that is of course weather dependent :>)
