Thanks for asking, Nina. It's going very well. I was surprised at how quickly the surgeon said I could progress. He said to start with 20% of my weight, try it for 2-3 days, and then increase another 20% every 2-3 days and back off if it was too much. I may have overdone it a little yesterday so I've not moved much today and I'm icing my knee as I type.

Mostly what bothers is the heels of my hands, from having to put so much weight on them instead of on my foot. I'm not sure why it hurts so much when I was putting all my weight on my hands as I hopped with the walker. I'm thinking it may be the shorter amount of time. Whatever the cause, I should be full weight bearing in a week. Walking with two legs is so much easier than hopping with one.
