Jim,
I've had two total knee replacements and an ankle replacement so I have some experience with your problem.
I would suggest duct taping her to a good recliner, lighting a fire for her to look at, and providing a decent single-malt at the frequency/dilution
she desires.
Diligence with the PT frequency and intensity are required, but 4 weeks later problem solved! Slow, but steadily improving life is the norm.
Wish her well from someone who has been through it.

Jim,

Mary got both knees replaced last year after the coach went out of service and then a shoulder this spring. One knee after the other. (I Keep telling
her that with just one more, we should be able to pick her up with a magnet.)

A nurse (a PHD Nurse!) friend of ours (that has also gotten aftermarket knees) advised rice over ice and it is real good.
Get a 10# bag and split it into 5 gallon ziplock bags and put them in the freezer. They provide at least as much relief, and get warm about the time
the cooling should stop. Then, put it back in the freezer and it will be ready for next time. Plus, you have 5 to draw on and no set up time. They
also don't leak. She will still want the washcloth.

Don't bother trying to slow her down, if she does something she shouldn't, the pain will tell her all about that. Mary now walks faster than I do,
but I am still trying to get by with the OE parts.

Give her a hug for us.

Matt

So Jim H,
Is the MC cover in your kit large enough to cover and seal a reservoir that is 4" X 6 3/8" ?
