you're kidding, right? i mean, you're putting us on, right? you really had surgery 6 days ago and 4 days later, or two days ago, you were using a ski machine? your doctor "told you" it was ok to do that?
Talking to the MD is like talking to the wall, but he provided written instructions to walk and bear weight as tolerated.
The ski machine is a lot more knee-friendly than walking; no pain at all.
But thanks for your responses. Maybe it's to early to assess and this thing will improve and I'll be able to crouch one day and weed the garden again.

actually the ski machine is FAR less knee friendly than "just walking"....regardless of the pain you may experience walking..
when I had my meniscus done last year...it took me well over a few weeks to do anything that involved bending the knees..ie..like going down the front steps to get the mail...tho I could walk on flat indoor floors without pain...once the swelling etc went down (about a week)
you couldn't have paid me to use ANY exercise machinery in 4 days...I started PT about a month later...and they were VERRR Y careful which machines I used

You shouldn't be telling me this.
It gives me an excuse to be lazy and not do anything until my next appt. four days from now. Doesn't take much pressure for me to be lazy
Lazy = guilt feelings, so I hope to avoid your advice and keep up with the ski machine, even if it's for considerably less than the pre-surgery time of 35-45 minutes per session. *** Free account sponsored by SecureIX.com *** *** Encrypt your Internet usage with a free VPN account from http://www.SecureIX.com ***

problem with the ski machine...is that it allows Lateral movement
not good when healing after knee surgery
do what you want....
