I had my surgery at 7:30 am on Monday. I 'walked' across the room 2 hours after surgery. This morning I walked for 10 minutes and then for another 10 minutes this afternoon. My wound is leaking a bit so I've only been in the passive resistance machine for 30 minutes. It feels great! THe PA will be by shortly and glue the sucker closed. I had Percocet every four hours since leaving the OR and had Duladin through by drip three times. I never let the pain grow ; just took the Percocet on the hour every 4 hours. I am likely to be discharged Wed afternoon. At the risk of jinxing the entire procedure, I would have to say that it was easier than I thought it would be. My PT resource says I can likely be on my spinning bike by Saturday ! (albeit slow and easy).
My goal is to ride for two hours on the Pinella Trail.at the four week point. I don't see any reason why I can't achieve this.
I had a great surgeon (over a 1000 MIS knee replacements) and a great support team including my wife.
By the way, I am 54 and very fit. I rode my spinning bike 3x per week for six weeks prior to surgery.
You can do this!
