Yes, that's my left leg. And the contraption you see on it is the knee brace I got from the folks at SurgiCare Inc., courtesy of Brigham and Women's Hospital and my surgeon, Dr. Elizabeth Matzkin.
Just got it last week, and it is supposed to relieve pressure in certain areas of my surgically-repaired knee so I can walk better and longer.
It's not as lightweight as I thought it was going to be, and it is an absolute bitch to put on in exactly the right position for it to do any good. I almost wish I had found a tattoo artist to etch boundary lines into my knee area so I'd know the exact spot where it should go every time I put it on. No, I don't sleep in it.
It does seem to help a little. I actually mowed my back yard in less than four hours yesterday. It should be a hour-and-a-half job. Small steps ...
