What a great evening! I know my sweetie is even happier than I am about my recovery, and my guess is that similarly, your wife is feeling very, very happy inside to see your knee getting better so quickly.Amazingly not, because after my short sleep my knee has had a remarkable improvement. I'm pottering about the house without any real discomfort, up and down stairs taking my wife a cuppa, certainly no pain,
I couldn't even feel it when the nurse removed my staples. Hopefully the removal of your stitches won't be much worse! I know you had another TKR years ago, so you know what it feels like (I don't), but I would imagine that some people are gentler than others when removing them and I hope your stitch removal is painless.except that the stitches area is very tight and restrictive.
The stitches only have 11 hours to live!!
Taking these out worries me, I hate this bit!!
This is just the TKR recovery roller coaster! You are getting closer and closer to that light, never fear. Just keep moving forwards even when the light is harder to see, and before you know it you'll break out of that tunnel for good.I'm not there yet, and there may be pot holes I haven't seen yet, but the finish line is in sight.
Which reminds me of my thought for the day: Why is it, that when you nearly reach the light at the end of the tunnel, some joker turns it off? "
SO happy to see that you had such a nice day!
