manipulation

I went to the doc yesterday---My knee was stuck at 60% so he suggested manipulation today (friday) or Monday  I said now!  so off we went.
I will start to blog again soon.  Wish me luck and only minimal pain.  Ouch Ouch Ouch!!!
 This is the knee with the operation and since them 'manipulation'.  We, both the doctor and I, had to initial the knee to be manipulated so they did the right (left) one.  haha!  See how swollen it is.  I have to elevate it and ice it and be off of it for a few days but can start exercises right now.
Pretty gory, huh!

Looks a lot like my knee did and the scar's about the same. But should it still be that swollen? Good luck with the manipulation...maybe with the pain there will be gain...I sure hope so.

You're probably wondering about now why you decided to have your knee replaced. Hope the manipulation helps and your swelling goes down. It looks very uncomfortable. More and more I think about the wonderful magic wand that they used in Star Trek.....

Bless your heart...and knee. You've been through a lot together.

Good luck with this. The swelling looks bad, but everyone I know who has had knee or hip replacements was really happy with the results. Good wishes!
