Im on day 12 post op and today was the first day I attempted walking my dog on the road, using a cane as needed. I didnt make it more than 200 yards before turning back. Ive been icing my knee and about to go outside to water my gardens and refill chickens water trough. Ive got to get another hose attached so I dont need to carry the water. Im one of the lucky healthy ones, being very active and in good shape and using a great surgeon, have had minimal swelling and bruising. Ive got great RoM and strength building daily. Today was first day Ive used the toilet without the riser on it. Tomorrow is my 2 week post op check. Everybody at their own pace. Theres a lot one can do to set yourself up for good healing but most of that has to do with active lifestyle with positive nutritional and fitness levels.
