Hi @ktgirl. I am sure @artscaping and @loriaakre will be happy to hear you are 3-days post surgery. I noticed you had posted another discussion on elevating your legs, so wanted to move your more recent post back to give members an update and so you can keep sharing as you go through your rehab.

When my mother went through surgery, she was told to elevate 3x a day for 30 minutes each time. Did your doctor share what he/she recommended for you personally?

I don't think they really said how long to elevate or ice. I'm going to see what the PT says today. Otherwise I think I'm doing ok. One of the worst things is my husband putting on my compression socks. At least it's a good laugh anyway!
