I had my left knee replacement done a week ago today and 11 weeks ago I had my right knee done.
My right knee done August 29th the pain was awful and I had to go to rehab for about 10 days before they allowed me to go home.
I had my left knee done
November 7th 10 weeks apart. This time I took my pain pills and waited for them to kick in before going to the bathroom and was able to walk to the commode they put on the middle of the room. I even took couple extra steps before heading back to bed. After another nap I went to the bathroom the nurse had me walk to the bathroom this time. Was able to do with little pain. Everyone was shocked because of the pain I was in last time.
I stayed two nights in the hospital and was able to go home. My best friend picked me up from the hospital and my physical therapist was going meet me at my house to help and watch me go upstairs but he couldn’t make it so my bestie decided I should stay the night. Since she had my dog because she watch her until I can make a couple trips a day up and downstairs. I didn’t mind going to see my dog. The next I went home and my physical therapist watched me walk beautifully up stairs.
My doctor ordered me dynasplint for my left knee but my extension on left knee is great. The dynasplint has been helping my right knee great to I went from 20 to 10 in the 3 weeks of wearing it.
After surgery my extension for my left was 15 by Thursday it was at 5. My end was at 90 by Thursday 11/10 my left was at 103.
My right knee numbers were no where near that after that surgery. My current numbers for my right knee is extension is 8 my bend is at 120.
The definitely weren’t lying when they said no knee is the same. I told my doctor I was glad to had the harder first because I would beaten myself thinking what I did wrong this time of the first one was harder and this one was easy.
Thanks for listening if you read it all. More later.
