Finally......the anticipation of the surgery is behind me. All went well and as surgeon put it.......it was unremarkable. I had a femoral block along with General A ......I had 125 ROM and about 14 extension post PT session yesterday as the nerve block had not worn off. Today is a totally different story. So much pain and swelling and aching. I cannot lift my leg without an assist from my good leg. Did my morning exercises to the best of my ability. Have VNA- PT coming at 2pm for an evaluation and then will start next week with visits. I have the ICEMAN cuff which is a Godsend. Also have the Colpac industrial Gel Ice packs for under my thigh. The thigh is so sore from the tourniquet they used during the operation. I didn't get much forewarning about that pain prior to surgery. I have already cried twice today. One day at a time. I look forward to sharing my experience and seeing how others are recovering.
