Thanks, Emily. I think the *gait retraining* will certainly be part of my pt as well. I guess time will tell if I have lingering pain. The doc thinks it's certainly possible. Right now my right knee is giving me some pain, but I'm hoping it's just because it's still weak from not being used. As you know, it's hard to be patient, and I tend to overdo (as when I was standing and cooking dinner tonight). My neighborhood pool is just across the street from my townhouse, and I certainly plan to use it... right now it doesn't open til 4 p.m... and I have to locate my swimsuit!
I really appreciate the encouragement from you all.
