Knee Exercises?

A few weeks ago I dislocated my knee. All I was doing was getting up to get my son. After going to the Dr, he said I needed physical therapy. Well, thats not going to happen because insurance dosen't cover it. I would like to know if anyone has had physical therapy for their knee and what exercises you had to do to strengthen it. Any help would be great!
Answer:
Ok, knee exercises. Here's one: with your legs outstretched, flex the muscle around your knee cap, tighten, hold, release. Tighten, hold, release. But... that's only part of the problem. The real problem is you're not exercising enough and you need those morning stretches to keep from getting sciatica and compensate for the accumulating weight. Read: Ancient Secret of The Fountain of Youth for some great, simple, yoga exercises and longevity and look for articles on 'hamstring stretching' using Yahoo Search or other search engines and don't let yourself out of bed in the morning before spending a couple of minutes stretching before you start chasing your son around.

Take a few minutes to walk around and give your knee joints and thigh muscles a chance to stretch and warm up.All movements should be done slowly, at a controlled pace. Never rush through these exercises.Use slow, steady movements. No bouncing.Start with a small number of repetitions, increasing the number of reps as you get stronger.
