Hi. Sounds like you are doing well. I'm scheduled for knee replacement on December 21st. I just received a packet of information about what to do before and after surgery. It says I will have PT twice a week. I'm wondering why you have PT every day at home. I will be going to a therapy place about 20 miles from where I live. It would be nice to have someone come here especially in the winter. I live in western Minnesota and we're getting our first snow tonight into tomorrow. 😟.

Hi there ... and good luck with the surgery . Actually the home PT is every other day now, and that will be over in a few days , I will then do outpatient PT twice a week . I would be surprised if you are only having PT twice a week right after surgery , I bet that is after the first couple of weeks . The PT the first two weeks require much more than twice a week , as far as I know. Good luck !!

Good Luck on the 21ST . I am now on ... week 6 ??... doing ok , doing PT outpatient . Sleeping better , working full time and driving .. not much pain, just stiff and still swollen - guess that will stay a while. Trying to do a lot of icing and stretching , and feeling like I am def on the way to recovery. Wishing you the best , let me know how you make out !!! DEE
