Had second knee replacement a week ago [View all]

Had some issues in the hospital that required an over-night stay (syncope, probably due to POTS or vasovagal straining) but zero (and I mean OTC Advil only) pain. Already bending to 110 degrees and have 0 degrees extension. Still swollen but that'll come with time. Good - just need to chill while on medical leave from work.

Thanks for all your good vibes!

Paula
