The swelling seems to have gone down overnight. Flexion has less pressure at 90 degrees, and I can go about 5-10 degrees more than that without considerable discomfort from the swelling. Most of the swelling is above the knee joint, though I can feel some laterally.
My calves on both legs are sore, I imagine they have been doing the bulk of the load bearing over the last week.
In small spaces like the bathroom and kitchen, in which a counter is only a few shuffle-steps away, I am able to work without both crutches. My left leg, which is been doing nearly all the load bearing recently, makes a squishy noise when I bend it. It's not painful, but not something I've had forever. I'm hoping this is simply overcompensation.
