From 45 years of experience, this bit of advice: Do NOT keep the knee straight. If you are going to prop it up, put a pillow under it to keep it bent a bit. And flex it from time to time or it will "freeze" and you'll regret it. When you lie down, keep a pillow under the knee for the same reason. When I've aggravated my "bad knee" it always feels better if it is uppermost when I'm on my side. Mine's the right knee, so I sleep on my left side, or on my back with the knee on a pillow. I do so sympathize and hope you get a good report on Thursday. Til then, keep your chin, and your knee, up.~;o) Mary
