Ok, this might be a good place to ask.

Eight days ago I underwent a full knee replacement surgery. Although my recovery is going well (almost TOO well!) I'm barely into the second week of the recovery phase and I'm getting really bored. Obviously I'm doing my knee exercises here at home to get my range of motion back and I was wondering what other beneficial exercises I can do to get ready to hop back on the bike.

I do have some dumbbells at home and my physical therapist mentioned something about getting a trainer for my bike, probably the kind that lifts the back wheel off the floor.

This coming Tuesday I have an appt. with my surgeon and then he will probably then recommend working with machines at the hospital to increase my ROM so I will also have to ask him about this.
