Got my MACI this morning!

Hello! I had my patella MACI surgery this morning! I'm thankful for the successful nerve block! I have some aching pain in my hip, I'm guessing from the injection but nothing to complain about yet.

I start on the CPM machine tomorrow. I can be weight bearing with crutches (6 weeks) as long as I stay locked. I start PT next Friday (that's the earliest I could get in).

I've been so thankful for this group the past several months. I feel like it's really helped me prepare physically and mentally. The stool in the bathroom and wedge pillow have already came in handy! Getting ready to fire up the ice machine soon.

My MACI is scheduled for May 15 and I'm looking in to ice machines. Has anyone gotten theirs covered by UHC by chance? I did a chat with an online rep but they said they would need the CPT code to look up if I have coverage for one or not. My surgeon sells them but he said they are $150-200 through the office.
