Answer:" AI'll practice these now and try to start them as soon as I can after my surgery."

Explanation:

→Leg exercise should commence immediately after surgery to avoid blood clot ...

→Blood circulation to the legs can be aided by pumping the ankle or drawing a circle with the ankle

→Range of motion practise should be intensified; the injured parts should be flex slowly, and toes should be used to draw alphabets, with each leg lifted individually, not in prone position.

→Hip abduction should be carried out, so that the body is away moved from the center of the body
