Been a while since I updated here. The new knee continues to do well. I am now riding a recumbent bike daily without issue. I am also driving more and can climb stairs carrying heavy items without issue. I can also carry up tp 30 lbs. without an issue. Walking is once again becoming more natural. Still have two and a half weeks until I go see my orthopedic surgeon to see if I can return to work on the 22nd(that's when my medical leave runs out without an extension). So far though,so good!
