I am now 3 weeks out from knee replacement surgery.
The entire experience has been full of frustration!
The knee is good though,
perhaps it will be worth it in the end.
I spent a couple of nightmare nights in the hospital,
before I came home and realized that I couldn't get off the couch!
My sweet son in law took the time to run off to Nebraska Furniture Mart to pick up a recliner for me.
Made everything go so much better.
I sat and slept in that recliner for days,
hooked up to the marvelous ice water machine-pain relief and swelling reduction at the same time.
I've now had two weeks of home health physical therapy and start outpatient on Friday.
I am doing a routine of stretching and exercises from the last surgery on that knee and
walking the long block in front of my house.
I've graduated from a walker to a cane (likely, won't be using the cane much longer)
There is only some soreness and stiffness (of course) but I've been off heavy pain meds for over a week now.
Since it's my left leg, I'm also driving again.
For the most part I think things are going well, getting range of motion back will take some time and effort but I've been there before.
I am reading-a lot.
Stitching-a little.
Working on Family History-somewhere in the middle.
It's Hot-91F
Humid.
And I'm Quite bored!
