My wife massaged my leg last night in bed. She pushed in the way you suggested. I slept with a pillow under my feet to elevate them some even in bed. I am now more aware that having sitting without elevating my legs is a no, no.

Swelling is still thee this morning but less. This is day 8, I am able to walk short distances without any assistant device. I am walking about 3 times a day outside . Yesterday, I was able to do my first walk without my cane (.6 miles).

I continue to do the strength stretching exercises from the hospital. There are a couple of stretches that are challenging my range of motion. My bad hip limited my range of motion significantly . Reclaiming it is a challenge.

Thanks again for your help and interest.
