3 Week Checkup Quad Sparing TKR Dr. Coon

[Guest guest]

My XRays looked fine, my flexion is 125, extension 0. He says everything is

great.

I walk unaided but apparently not enough. Dr. Coon asked if I was able to walk

8 blocks easily yet and frankly I don't think I could walk it " easily " and

haven't tried. I get the impression I've been expected to do a lot more

exercise than those sheets of easy exercises they send home with you. I thought

I was doing enough just getting on my stationary bike for 5-10 minutes, but

nooooo.

Problem is, when I walk any distance or go 10 minutes instead of 5 on the bike,

I get a lot of pain later that night so have to take more pain meds, so I've

been careful.

Anyway I guess I will up my walking and biking, he says only by about 15% more a

day.

But I'm thankful for this quick of recovery.
