Everyone heals / responds differently so comparing your experience to what youve read can be misleading and discouraging. You can get through this, youve got this OP. Im 3 weeks post op today (54m) and have been literally on my own since day 3. While my journey seems smoother than most I still have my ups and downs and honestly the hardest part for me has been sleeping. In the last 3 weeks Ive had one good nights rest and when I woke the healing that happening that night was significant. Today Im up at 4am ice on my knee, blood pressure spiked and browsing Reddit. Everyday is different. Every person different. Dont be discouraged my friend. Good luck op.
