Second knee is now done. Can someone update my signature to add ",#2 done "
This time my surgery was outpatient. Surgery was at 7:30 and I was home by 3:30. No spinal but did get a nerve block. It is supposed to last 12 to 18 hours so it could wear off any time now. I don't have "log leg" but it is too painful to lift it without help. Surgery was done under general anesthesia.
I have an ace bandage on my leg and it is insulating my knee from the ice so I don't think I am getting much benefit from it but I am icing anyway. Can't tell how much swelling because of the bandage. Pain level is tolerable, no nausea, just pretty tired.
