I used to work for an orthopedic surgeon and did so many LP/ACL discharges that i could probably recite the instructions right now, but I won't. LOL Just by reading what you've been doing I'm pretty sure you got a similar speech to the one my surgeon gives.

i bet she's just sore from the PT. Best thing to do right now is what you're already doing. Keep an eye on her and call the surgeon if it gets worse or doesn't improve by morning. Good luck. hopefully she'll feel better tomorrow.
Thanks
