Say, Jim, that's great. Sounds like you're doing way better than I did after my surgeries. I'm afraid I'm my Dad's daughter, and a pretty big pain-wuss.
Also sounds like you've got better wc laws than we do here in KS. Here, you can have your hand on the door to your business and slip on ice, and it's not covered 'cause it's not within the job's premises. That's why if there's any ice, I park front row so I can hold onto my car 'til I reach the sidewalk. Don't care what my employer's rule is.
Most of all, I'm glad you get to sit down for most of your job. It'll make a world of difference in how fast you'll heal.
The cream, I've decided since my last post that it really does help my knees. I've tried going without when they're achy, and then using it again. Seems like there's far less pain when I use it.
Another thing I've used is a wrap-on icepack. I haven't used it for a while 'cause neither knee has been that hurtful at bedtime lately. But it worked great in a two-part manner. First, it was cold (duh) so chilled down the inflammation and the pain. When I woke next morn, it was all nice and warm instead. And still little pain. I attribute that to both the pressure the wrap put on my knee, and the nice damp warmth the un-iced icepack caused. I wonder if doing something similar would help your ankle in the morns.
