I'd say you are doing well. If you'd have went to the nursing home for recovery, you might be discharged about now....LOL!
Just remember, don't even overdo it. You will never be able to kick your own behind with that leg!
LOL - - or stand on it and use my good leg.
He said he wished I had a hot tub - - - he's not the only one! He suggested taking a warm tub bath to just soak it in and move my leg, but I'm not going to EVEN try that. I can just see me now having to call someone to come help me up out of the tub. No thanks.....I'll just wait a bit longer for that luxury!

Have someone get you a shower chair and sit in the shower with the spray aimed right at your leg.
Walt went through a couple of roommates when he was at Heartland that had had knee replacements. You sound like you're doing awesome to me!! I'm so glad. Been praying for you

I really thank God for where I am - - I do believe I'm doing great!
I do have a shower chair and a hand held shower spray - - it does feel really good to let the warm water flow over my knee. I can see where being in a hot tub would be great though - - it'd be easier to move my leg back and forth.
Thanks for the prayers!!!!

In our area, we have a couple of homes for Mentally and Physically Handicapped Children and Adults that have inside pools and hottubs. The general public can get a membership at either of them for only $30 a month. That lets you come three times a week for water aerobics and the use of the hottub is always 'free' with that membership. I wonder if there might be something like that near you? And if there is, is there someone nearby who can get you there?
The other place to check are local hotels that have indoor pools and hottubs. You won't want to check those that have the waterpark stuff. Too much $$$$'s. But here you can go to those with just the pool and hot tub for about the same $30 a month.
Just a couple of ideas for you. Especially if you're just sitting there bored. Get your phone book out and start making a few calls
