Had mine in 2018. Ice machine, pain meds and most important THERAPY! The therapy is hard but will pay off in the end—full range of motion AND no scar tissue. Get thorough massages on the knee to prevent scar tissue—if PT doesn’t provide get it somewhere! It will take a full year to feel normal. The shower won’t be a problem since they tape/glue now versus stitches or staples. I only used walker, no cane and I had to go up and down stairs each day. Best of luck — you’ll do fine.
