Hi Glenn,
Glad all went well!!!!! I had mine 5 weeks ago. My leg did hurt the first week. I agree with Gigi, walking helps. I started walking slowly inside and once I got strong enough to be out I started walking slowly outside and have been walking more each day. I do take breaks in between when I get tired. Walking outside is the best because the ground changes. It's making me better and I feel stronger. If you decide to stretch, doing a gentle stretch is important so you don't hurt yourself because your muscles are tight. Listen to your body! My PT says "less is better". It's better to start at a light pace and build it up. Good luck!!!! You are in my prayers!!
