Twin Cities Orthopedics’ team has been diligently helping my left knee regain function, all while Lisa is away. Despite increased swelling, I got off crutches last Wednesday and have been icing and elevating whenever possible. As of today, the swelling has only seemed to increase and mostly on the lateral side at the incision to grab some of my left knee’s IT-band. Jake was concerned about the swelling and that my stitches might let go, so he connected with LaPrade’s team who ordered me to take an anti-inflammatory for four days. I hope that does the trick!
