His doctor wants him laying down a lot the next couple weeks and his leg straight. Dr Lin said the first two weeks are critical for the surgery to work. 

I’ve talked Robbie into wearing the killer brace for an hour or two depending on his pain. His leg is already wanting to bend a little again. He will really have to fight the scar tissue and pain to keep his leg from regressing. He is trying hard today, but we have a battle ahead of us to gain a functioning leg. He is tired and understandably wants to baby his painful leg, but I can’t let him do that.
