United StatesHi everyone! Thank you for so many well wishes, I'm sure the next few days will be challenging for me. I'm fortunate a dear friend has offered to come sit with me Tuesday and Wednesday as hubby will be gone (utterly no choice there). I just don't know what shape I'll be in after the MUA's tomorrow.
@NetballKnees Yes, it is plural
My left knee is basically stuck around 58, right knee around 53 when I try bending. And, thank you, I think they LOOK really good!! I'll be way more pleased when I can actually bend the darned things!
Cindy, @Texan the actual trip when ok - it's obviously WAY too early for me to try that again. I was in the back seat with legs elevated, walked into brothers house using cane and sat for two hours, then rode home the same way. Swelling and pain last night was remarkable, REALLY swollen this morning. I'm very glad we went though, I adore my niece and really, really wanted to be there for her.
Bonnie, @RunA42K good luck with your appointment!! It certainly sounds like your recovery for the revision is going much better for you. I sincerely hope all is well with your ROM and you keep moving full steam ahead
I actually had my hairdresser come to my home this morning and do my hair - it just feels nice to feel a little pretty, ya' know? Hubby also got a trim while she was here, he has a huge business open house this week he's literally been working months preparing for (why he's gone Tues/Wed). Hubby's watching NASCAR for a bit, then we're going to an early supper at our favorite Mexican restaurant. He's dropping his daughter off at her mom's so she can get back and forth to school tomorrow since I have to be at hospital so early. Noticed yesterday morning I was going to run out of my Celebrex since doc had me double to dosage, so had to call the doctor on call to refill, and we'll pick that up while we're out.
I don't feel nervous right now, but fully expect I'll be a WRECK tomorrow morning with worry. Each time I've thought about it the last two days I tear up. I just have this nightmare that I won't even be able to walk because of the horrendous pain and swelling, and that I'll be black and blue ankle to butt. I'm expecting some pain, soreness, and swelling for sure but hope for minimal of each. I need to also get a refill of pain meds tomorrow as I'll use my last one tonight before bed. Tomorrow morning will be rough as I can't take anything after midnight. Had a CPM delivered yesterday for use afterwards - I'm supposed to live on the dang thing.

Yes, I FIRED HER and got a new nurse. Within a minute, I was receiving my first dose of pain meds, she stayed with me until they started working, then continued to give slow steady doses until pain went from a 9.75 to about a 2. Now, I ask you, WHAT WAS SO HARD ABOUT THAT???????
