Thanks ladies, I'll think again before using that little card!:rofsign:
 
Oh joy, now I have to have an urgent scan of a lump in my neck.:sad:
 
BOOOOOOOO! What's going on???? :hairpulling: So sorry. :sorry: I hope it turns out to be nothing serious. :beg:
 
I noticed a lump in my neck on Sunday, don't often look in the mirror these days! Feel unwell so maybe it's a swollen gland, says she optimistically!
 
When are you going for your scan Sue? Hope its nothing serious.
 
The GP said he'd put in the request immediately for as soon as possible, 2 to 3 weeks. As I felt really rotten last night and DH decided he's been under the weather, I suspect we may just have picked up a nasty virus at the hospital last Thursday....unhealthy places! Last night I was hallucinating like a Victorian lady on her deathbed! Today seem to be over the crisis and the big lump is going down.
How are you this morning?
Sue.
 
Morning Sue well feeling bruised and battered and hardly slept a wink. Trying to keep moving but icing inbetween as its still swollen. Think I might take Toothfairy advice. Rest and chocolate. Sounds good to me. Hope youre ok today. Think you've been through enough this year havent you. Im sure everything will be ok with your scan its just the waiting thats the worst thing isnt it. No more decorating for me today. I will think about you when eating my chocolate . Take care.sending hugs x x
 
15 weeks out of TKR. Had a mixed night, log leg alternating with short-lived immobilizing pain and men with knives again, then felt relatively good in the morning. Been having shooting jabbings from distant parts of the leg or even body.....nerves reconnecting maybe.
I decided my baby knee is about 1/4 grown up towards a fully normal knee which it'll never be. Hoping it'll get there. Progress now seems to have slowed down. I think I need to do more walking.
 
My lovely son just bought me a white orchid, my plants following TKR have finished flowering now. I say "bought" loosely as he's an unemployed graduate so I funded it but he chose it and brought it home. He's a good son.:)
 
That is lovely Sue, what a lovely son to go and choose it for you.
Enjoy both your beautiful orchid and your beautiful and loving son.
Hope you are having a very good day,
Hugs Toothfairy x :SUNsmile: :happydance:
 
Good luck with your post op check today.
I will watch out for you posting an update later.
Hugs Toothfairy x :SUNsmile: :yay:

How nice was that. Little things like that really brighten our day. What a lovely son you have.
 
Hi Sue paid you a visit to read about your update on your neck. But looks like I'm too early. Crol
 
Well, I took out my ODIC card for a spin and then paid with ice and elevation!

3 month post op went really well. Surgeon said I looked so much better than at 6 weeks, I was pretty much out of it on Tramadol then, still using a crutch and for some reason probably drug related, was finding coping with anything, really very difficult and panic inducing.

Anyway, good progress :), measured Extension 0, ROM 120, without any pushing. We had a good chat about various things....he's never over busy, I'm usually early and I went in about 3/4 hour early, he gives you as much time as you need. He suggested prophylactic antibiotics prior to my dental work as the knee is so new, I'm happy about that as I know from experience taking out a big broken filling sometimes reveals nasties.

I was yesterday a bit sad to realise my ROM will probably never be much better than it is now....120-125ish as that is the movement range of my prosthesis....0-130, but hey ho it's OK and the operation has gone well. There is some swelling I hope will go down, I'm to take Celebrex again in a while if it doesn't subside. I go again in November for my 6 month check up, he'll see me up to a year and I can phone the hospital at any time with concerns. I feel very fortunate.

Felt so good, we called into Countrywide and bought a wooden bench seat for the garden, on offer, then Snugbury's (farm shop) for an icecream; that was all so good we went to town for a pub lunch today.....ODIC card now hidden!!

That's all for now folks. :dancy:
 
Neck, I've got an ultrasound scan next Wed with a doctor at the local hospital. I've had to cancel Buckingham Palace, couldn't fit them in!
Oh and lovely son flooded the shower room whist we had a pub lunch, came back to many wet towels ah, bless :hissy: on the floor too, how do they do it??
 
I forgot to say, I was told I could have another TKR at the same hospital, with a pacemaker, which was good news for as and when.
 
Wow just lost what I typed for 15 minutes on drugs :gaah:
Congrats on your Rom
Leaving the hospital now
Will catch up when I get home... After I crash of course. :)
