A 6-month retrospective on my TKR

I am 7 weeks out from my TKR, and would like to stop going to on-site PT. I feel I need a good set of exercises to do at home. I need to be cautious about not ticking off my extremely bad back issues, yet I do not have faith in my local PT folks. I have searched for Mayo-approved sites that offer info on the at-home therapy that is best at this stage, but cannot find any. Do any of you have links to recommend??

SmcClemore, are you currently doing exercises with your physiotherapist that you can do at home? Which ones are your favorites?
