Day 7 1 week post surgery
Well it's been 1 week now so where do I stand
My left leg doing well . Still some pain, not much as far as swelling.
Right leg knee still swollen. I can bend it more but I been doing flexing exercise from time to time. The calf on my right leg is still stiff and tight. The muscle is almost locked up. I can walk on it but very painful. Still having never sensation feeling like fluid moving. The pain is a little better not as bad as before but pretty bad. One one the things I am doing now foe calf is making sure I ice the whole calf another thing I'm doing is putting an ice pack on my foot and self chest feels good with the pain that goes down to my foot.
I done some walking but not without pain. Everytime I move my right leg from an elevated position the pain that makes you ask yourself what did I do.
A concern now is over compensating on my left leg for my right leg. So even though I can move I try not to overdo it.
Something you want to think about is bathing. This is a challenge. Because you can only allow water to rub down you leg no soap. And standing for any period of time is difficult so we empervised a shower chair so I could sit and talked a shower.
