This was my 3rd week check up. Quick 10 minute consultation. Wound seems to be healing ok and just need to wear a small plaster for one remaining sore spot, otherwise no problem with showers now. Emphasis on straight leg extension and getting knee to go flat and heel lifted. Otherwise just keep out of trouble. Still some swelling around the knee but if that persists then he may drain it at 6 weeks, nice! It was a reassuring meeting though and he said the swelling on the fornt of the shin was dissapating and not to worry about it. So far so good.
I feel like there is good progress and walking is getting better but sitting at desk at work does make knee stiff especially round the front under knee cap which must be related to the patella graft.
Getting frustrated at times and would like more mobility. Also the front right of the knee is very numb as a consequence of the surgery. Hopefully this will return in due course.
