I was serious about the walker. Sue couldn't handle the crutches but a walker worked. That was on the break and first surgery. Basically going 10' to the bathroom or out of bed into the wheelchair. Her knee was broken off on that one.

Second surgery was more like your's. She used the walker for about a week. Keep your leg up and stick a pillow under your knee from time to time. Use frozen peas like Carolyn suggested or frozen corn if you don't like peas. They should have given you a print out at the hospital.

Sue's mother had a replacement when she was 60. Up and walking the next day. Not jogging, but a few steps.
