    how much redness and swelling around the wound area is normal this soon after an op?

    Quite a lot, if my parents 5 knee replacements are anything to go by...

    OK I'm confused, is your Father Jake the Peg?

    Is he a centaur?

    Well my parents possess two legs each making for a total of four knees. My dad is just profligate with knee replacements as he managed to wear out one already. Hence 5 replacements. Two have been done under local anaesthetic too which makes my dad a double hard b**tard and easily harder than your dad or something...

    the redness is spreading across my knee and its feeling numb all over now, i'm guessing this is a bad sign :cry:

    ^ This. The fact you're clearly worried about it, having been relatively calm about the original incident, should tell you all you need to know...

    I just got my first look at the wound post op, i can tell you now that surgeon didnt win any needlework awards, i think he follows the frankenstein school.

    only 6 giant stitches on the outside and a few inside as well, where they opened it up they've doubled the size of the cut then pulled it all back together like an old blanket. The doc did say I can and should start bending my knee as pain permits, i took that as meaning "light" turbo work.

    if anyone else finds themselves in the same situation i can confirm that well placed KT Pro tape around the knee & thigh works wonders, as do strong painkillers

    Yeah - no-one will expect you to be quick :wink:

    And, if Rapha's top man in the TdF is anything to go by, people will expect you to be injured and fall off a lot... :twisted: :wink:
