Hey All...
4 weeks.... My how the time flys. The recovery is going so-so. I am at the point where I'm glad I had my TKR. ROM is at 90-95. I am not sure how that is for 4 weeks, but I am pleased.
Sleep is still something I need to get a handle on. 4 to 5 hours a night plus dozing a little in my lazyboy.
The exersises are getting easier. Had a bunch of pain under my kneecap, but that is getting better.
Pain managment is another issue. I called OS last monday to ask for more pain meds. I told him that I had enough until sunday (today) , and my appt
is Dec 4. He told me I should only need pain meds for sleep, and that I need to get off them. Tomorrow I am calling PCP to see if he will take over my Pain management. I have my doubts though. I have been taking the Oxycodone 3 times a day with bunches of tylenol and motrin.
Another issue I am having is depression. Am I alone? I will have to talk to doc
about that also.
thank you all
