Yeah, I have had a cryo-sleeve for a couple of years now. You just have to keep re-lifting the cooler to force fresh ice water into the sleeve (which, you are correct, is MUCH simpler than having to get new frozen ice packs (especially since I have to go up and down 5 stairs to get to the kitchen!). I have that on my knee and have the sleeve with ice packs they used at the hospital on my calf and ankle.

You don't drown by falling in the water. You drown by staying there.

Sending you positive healing thoughts (and maybe some of that blue-zone-energy that they talk about in Costa Rica. Trippy, I know, but it seems to always work on my mom!). I can't wait to hear about your progress and so proud of you for your Wonder Woman knees!!!!! You Go Girl!!!!!
