Having been through too many surgeries myself, I know it's hard to not automaticaly do stuff. Being an active person, not being able to do stuff, was torture. Luckily my surgeries allowed me to walk which really helped my recovery, much to my doctor's delight!! Are you going to physical therapy Gina?? It can be painful but helpful in the long run. Make sure you elevate your leg. Are you allowed to put an ice back on it to keep the swelling down? Anyway.. hope you feel better day by day.
