She walked today and said it really hurt

....I think that is normal.

Sending prayers Mom in law heals well, and the pain passes swiftly. I remember getting surgery on both feet in one day and the pressure on them was a killer a few days.

She is stubborn enough to tolerate the pain and walk through it will get her going, To give in and want to not use the legs will be her worse enemy.

healing thoughts for her

Dear Bizi

it's been a few days, do you know how she's doing?

sending her good thoughts also.

My understanding from a friend who had knee surgery is that during rehab the therapist is always present and uses the degree of pain/inflammation to establish what therapy can be done moment by moment and day by day, to maximize benefit and avoid any "unproductive" pain.

She is doing remarkably well thanks for asking.

therapist said that she could probably go home in a couple of weeks.She says she is not in any pain but I don't believe her, she is a very proud and stubborn woman. I love her to pieces but I think she would say anything to get to go home as soon as possible.

Wow

She is doing so much better than my mother did with either of her
knees. She is a remarkable woman too.

I would say if she is able to do this without any kind of pain medication
then she is doing this with out any pain then.

they are really working her, I spoke with her this afternoon.
She continues to make great strides.
they did not premedicate her today so it hurt when they bent her leg all the way back. She is going to have to ask for pain meds prior to therapy.
what a trooper! she walked all the way back to her room, they walked behind her with a wheel chair in case she needed to rest she did not. She said that she would probably walk to dinner. I am really proud of her. she is doing so well!
