I made it through my surgery, though I got pretty sick in the hospital on the pain meds, and got super anemic and had to be given blood. Today I'm 11 days post-op and it's the first day I could use the exercise bike. I tried yesterday and couldn't bend my knee far enough to go through a full pedal rotation, but I worked on it a lot with stretching and using a hand-held electric massager to help relax the muscles, and today I could do it! Only for a couple of minutes before I got tired, but I'm feeling positive.
And AWESOMELY I can now sit flush on the bike and not knee-in because of a malrotated femur!!!! I'm imagining a summer of NOT knocking my knee on my water bottle every 10 minutes!
