Had my 6 week follow up, a few days early. Surgeon's PA was very pleased with my healing. But also with my 0 to 135 Range of Motion. Cleared me to return to work next week.

So at PT, got worked over pretty good again. And made more progress. 138*... My 10 year old knee can still hit 145, so I'm way above even my normal recovery.

I'm not the normal knee replacement patient. My surgeon and my PT are both aware of this. I've also been off scheduled pain meds for 3 weeks, and I quit bedtime pain meds 2 weeks ago. Naproxen (Aleve) has been sufficient ever since. Yes, I can make it hurt, but that doesn't prove anything. Progress is made as it is made. I seriously doubt I get past 138* until I have a lot less swelling in my knee. And that is where the bike comes in. More on that later.
