Thank you for the advice, BBY.
I laughed at the doctor before the surgery. He told me that I have to walk because if I don't, I risk getting bloodclots. THEN he said, but I want you to keep this elevated as much as you can to avoid swelling. I laughed and said, "Ok, so which is it? Walk? Or elevate? WHICH do you want?" LOL
