Sucks. Ski season is over here now anyway. And i'm living right under the mountain. - Fortunately the rock is GOOOD.

Ortho consultants are a special lot and we can't anger them, so we can do what we like as long as they haven't said no to it. What have they said about waiting 4 weeks? No pool? it hasn't healed etc.

Are you doing the exercise where you roll up a towel under your knee and then straighten the leg?

I love the idea of the pool as long as your wounds have healed? and you haven't specifically been told not to. You'd only be allowed to do light kicking and no frog kick/breaststroke. More of just walking in water and aqua jogging style. - walking in the water is actually really hard, but an awesome exercise cause you don't need crutches - a waist height pool is good so you still have some weight (as if you were just walking partial weight bearing)

How about some more specifics on the op - 3 ops were done?
