I had my husband take some pictures of the healing process. He has a better view than I do (ha ha).

Pretty ain't it? The yellow is from the Iodine wash they use to cleanse the skin for surgery and the red blotches are from blisters I got from the tape they used to hold the wound vac in place. So far everything looks pretty good, can't wait to get the staples taken out.
As of today my Range of Motion is around 45 and I have full extension. I've also tried toe touching while walking, but that is just a big pain-in-the-butt. I just don't have the time, nor patience, to worry if I'm "breaking an eggshell" when I put my right foot down. My knee has started popping a bit when it's swollen, but from what I've read this is normal when the knee has been replaced but the patella has been left since the swelling affects the way the patella tracks. Just another thing to add to the list of questions for my (poor) surgeon.
