> Everything is going pretty well as of today. She took a shower last Friday & had some swelling for a couple of days after that. It didn't restrict her extension but it did restrict her flexion. This is on her acl knee not her graft knee. So she backed off some of the flexion exercises per the Dr.
Went to the Dr. on Monday & everything looks really good. She si where she needs to be regarding flexion & extension on both knees. She is mobile w/o the use of crutches. She went back to school yesterday & will go for 1/2 days the rest of the week.
As for pain, the 2nd evening & 3 rd day were the hardest. & she had a total of 3 darvons the whole time. She is still taking tylenol & aleve as needed.
So far so good.
