Hi Friends,
Well, 20 hours post op!!! So gratefuI! I took your collective experience with me...thank you! Anterior approach, 300ml estimated blood loss, bone on bone. Staff was wonderful. Resting after walking to the door in my room with therapist. I have a gorgeous view of Mt. Hood and wooded hills.
5 mg oxy, tylenol and Celebrex for pain. Ice and elevation. My concern is a large portion of my anterior leg from incision to knee feels dead and heavy. No feeling, as if I'm dragging a mannequin leg. Quads are firing and I'm able to bare weight lightly. The numbnessness prevents me from feeling confident about going home. Is this the log leg I read about? Dead long leg? Needing some reassurance. Staff not alarmed and say let's watch and wait.
Should I continue to post on this thread....too foggy to figure out the correct place for my story.
With gratitude,
Carita
