@numbzee Too funny a dog that's afraid of flies!! Well I'm officially discharged from in-home PT...he said if I could get my leg completely straight I wouldn't need out-patient PT...my ROM is 126..I am going to try extra-pain relief PM store brand and see if that helps my sleep. Hope you're...- klpgsd

I do feel blessed to get this far in the short amount of time. Now if I could only sleep at night. I'm going to check out the drug store for some kind of sleep aid. Advil PM doesn't work. Leg really ached last night. Probably from all I did yesterday. Jewely did do some agility when she was...- klpgsd

I am so glad you had a wonderful PT person and session...I hope it continues. My horseback riding days are all in the past. My PT guy told me nerve trauma could be the reason for my ankle to ache. The spot is under my ankle bone before the sole...I think I had a similar ache before surgery..this...- klpgsd

Only trouble it was too late..should have stayed with the horses. Daughters live in Burbank..about 160 miles away. I have 3 children, 5 grandchildren and 4 gr-grands. Hardly any pain during the day so don't take anything. It is the nights that are awful..another bad one last night...took...- klpgsd

My father got me a horse when I was almost a teenager..I was more interested in boys than horses so she wasn't ridden as much as she should have been. When I moved up here I bought Suzy when she was 10 and she lived to be 32. Normally each year I take the train down to my daughters for TG..not...- klpgsd

It isn't like I have to bend over..real easy with the tools..I'm about as tall as you. I use to be about 5'6'...shrinking in my old age LOL. Your volunteer job sounded like a great job....I use to ride and had a horse up to a few years ago when she passed at 32. Also volunteered at a dog rescue...- klpgsd

I'm going to call to find out when and if the cpm machine has to be returned..I'm sure you're right..21 days max or I pay rental. I am only missing one steri-strip so far...took a shower a little while ago and they're still stuck on. Right now my main complaint is weakness and feeling faint..not...- klpgsd

Oh you are so kind but I'm not as bad off as it sounds...the doc manipulation was for a split second, more of a surprise than anything. I'm doing well really. PT guy says one more week of in-home and then out patient. Fine with me. I don't take hardly any pain meds during the day, just at night...- klpgsd

I can't seem to find a pain pill that stops the annoying pain at night. During the day I don't need pain pills as a rule. Saw the doc yesterday and boy did he do a number on my knee...I guess you would say "manual manipulation" and it has been hurting ever since especially during the night. I...- klpgsd

I think you're right about returning CPM machine...guess 3 weeks is the limit. I'm terrible about using it. Lousy night sleep last night..finally took tramadol and slept. My dog has been very good too. I have my doc appt. today and will ask about another week of in-home pt or start outpatient...- klpgsd
