Today, it still barely bends when I am trying to walk and is now the size of a slightly deflated soccer ball. My thigh muscle hurts and sitting at the computer I still can't get my leg to bend beyond 15 degrees. On the CPM I can get my knee to an uncomfortable 90 degrees.
I just remain stuck on the fact that it would have taken less then 5 minutes to explain that there was a very good possibility that my knee would react like this. Dr. Williams may be a great surgeon, but what does that matter if patients' are left without all the information - don't assume we know what questions to ask (though from now on I will definitely have to start with what is the worst that could happen?). And it would also be helpful if staff would listen to me when I question doing this during the holidays!
If I knew then, what I know now!
