    Thanks Layla, it does help knowing that this is not unusual the ice did help with the itching. It’s been quite some time since the THR so you tend to forget the awful parts Will do my best to take care of the rest of me today

    This morning the rest of me is feeling not great, back hurts, hips are sore, stiff shoulders. Most likely the result of all this resting and sleeping on my back.

    Good morning, the big bandages have come off and I had a proper shower :banana-santa: Makes you feel so much better Getting up, walking and sitting down seems to be a bit easier today, it feels like putting weight on is less painful. The muscles for bending and stretching are still on strike

    Had a great 7h sleep, so grateful that there is no pain while ar rest. Also thus morning the muscles above the knee are less sensitive to touch. Movement still hurts like the dickens but reminding myself it still early days after my knee was attacked with chisel and hacksaw :)

    Why does it feel more uncomfortable when the leg is elevated vs straight or even sitting?

    Good morning, I’m going to use this as a bit of a diary so I remember for the next time. Hope that’s ok got a couple hours if decent sleep The muscles above the knee are weak and very sore. It’s hard to lift the leg even to put on a shoe. Ankle pumps and some bending works fine and with...
