Hi Ken,

Thanks for asking. Wish I could say I am doing great, but that would be a lie. My leg began swelling about the time I got discharged from the hospital. The surgeon's assistant gave me a shot of Rocefrin, plus a prescription of Levaquin....both antibiotics. The antibiotics did not improve the situation.

At first I was doing the physical therapy, but the swelling interfered with the amount of range motion, so the surgeon suggested I cease all activity and therapy....remain inactive with my leg elevated, which is what I have been doing since Wednesday. The pain level is still as intense as it has been since the operation. See the surgeon again this coming Tuesday.

What is so frustrating about this swelling mess is that I am not able to do the necessary exercises in order to improve my use of the new joint and increase its range of motion.

Again, thanks for asking. Really appreciate it.

Best regards,

Ray
