There were less expensive options too, they were a bit heavier but also very solid.

Second is find a good physio, even if you can't go very often it's good to have someone assessing your recovery and giving you exercises to do. It's tempting to slack off on the exercises but do your best to stay on top of them.

Last is transport, I think for the first 2 or so weeks back at work I was driving her (she had her right knee done though). If you've got a low car or a standard it'll take you longer so if you've got access to something higher like an SUV or a van then try to borrow that.

Thanks, the brace I'm getting is custom fit and he did tell me anywhere from $800-1400 for that depending so I'm kind of expecting it.

I drive an SUV and it's the left knee so I'm hoping I can drive myself to work sooner then later. I'll probably fly my mom in from Sask. for the first week or two so I can have some help around the house.
