Thanks for asking, too!
Turned the corner a couple of days ago. Swelling and pain way better but still up and down. He starts his outpatient PT next week. We switched his therapy to the outpatient rehab at our local hospital instead of IBJI. The hospital PT is one-on-one and you pretty much get the same therapist each session. The big guys like IBJI and ATI seem to have their therapists working with multiple people at the same time. We didn’t think that was optimal.
Meanwhile, my superwoman neighbor had her knee done a week ago tomorrow and said she drove for the first time yesterday. That means she’s not taking any pain meds. This is her second TKR, and she said she didn’t take pain meds the first time around. She has amazing recuperative powers….

That’s how it was when I was doing PT for my plantar fasciitis, one PTist was taking care of several people, and each time you went, you might or might not have the same person. At the time I remember thinking if my problem were anything more serious, I wouldn’t like that set up, so I can’t imagine doing it like that after a TKR.
