I just remembered this, but rent, buy, steal, beg or borrow the cold machine thingy. It is like a itty bitty water pump and radiator. I have no idea what it is called but it was a god send. Like so many others on here I wanted no part of the heavy pain pills. This machine has a Velcro wrap you put around your knee, it has a water reservoir you put ice or frozen water bottles in and it circulates the cold water thru the knee wrap. Really really reduces pain and swelling. For the life of me I do not remember what it is called. Talk to her PA or do a Amazon search, it is seriously good for the recovery process.
