As an update. My prescription pain killers ran out Wednesday and I'm not sure they made any difference anyway. All in all I think I'm doing well. Most swelling is now gone. Still stiff and sore and working to get the range of motion back. Each day seems a little better. I know I look forward to being able to walk completely pain free. (From the knee at least) It does educate you in where the tendons and ligaments are that operate your lower leg. It sounds as though Monday I will be doing some time on an exercise bike at rehab as well. I have one that I need to get moved home for additional therapy. I loaned it out to someone else going through broken leg therapy a year or so ago. I will try to update in another week on my progress.
