How long did you use the machine? How many days after surgery did you use it? I haven't completely abandoned the idea. I'm seeing my Surgeon July 29. I will ask him then why he doesn't like the machine. Maybe I should insist on a prescription. I wonder if a PMM would still be of value? My surgery was July 10.

I realize the PMM isn't about laziness. I agree that keeping flexible is the key. I think I'm bending around 96 right now (I'm not sure if that number makes any sense!). I'm sure I could find a doctor somewhere to write up a Req.
