I am not done yet! The challenge ahead will be walking up and down stairs with proper full steps. I insisted on being provided a continuous passive motion machine at the hospital and one to use at home. Lately there are mixed reports on how useful these are, but I am a strong believer. I had it cranked up to the maximum 120* about the third day i was home and did not use it again. PT said my range of motion left (surgical) knee was 134*, my right 135*. I will take that!
