Did your surgeon recommend keeping a journal or was that good idea yours?

the journal was my idea. It helped to keep track of meds, pain levels, therapy progress, sleep, appetite, intake and output and any other issue that seemed relevant and it is interesting to compare the knee 1 and knee 2 experiences.
