Soreness went away and was back to minimal pain. I began weening myself off pain meds the day before and hope to be off within a few days. I continued with the CPM and leg circles (someone moves your leg for you in a small circle both ways). I iced diligently as well as kept hydrated. One huge difference with this surgery compared to the last two, was that I am eating a lot of veggies and drinking a veggie / fruit smoothie every day. I use the vitamix to allow fiber intake. My smoothies typically have kale, broccoli, chard, spinach, carrots, apple lime, frozen berrys, mangos and peaches - all organic. This has helped tremendously with constipation from medication.
