I seem to be doing ok, sleep came late, but was good. MY left hip is sooooooo bruised! Yuk! oh, well. My OS doesnt require or write a RX for PT at home with a therapist for HIps, only knees. LOts of the same exercises I do on my own. My dr. is one of the top ones in Houston, too. I am walking very well with the walker.appetite is coming back.
the bandaged incision gets so hot and clammy at nite. I sent hubby out to get some cold compresses., also, i guve myself Lovenox shots for 10 days. For all this, tho, hubby bought a new top of the line Tem per pedic bed. He's been a good nurse so far!!!!:hissy::blush:
 
All sounds pretty routine thus far, creblue. What were your questions?
 
Creblue-
Sounds like you're doing very well (due no doubt to hubby's excellent care). Enjoy the improvements you'll feel every day--life is good!
Blessings,
Irene
 
creblue, i'm so glad to see you. it always amazes me that a few days after surgery people sound like they feel better then i do on a daily basis. it is very exciting. i hope to be there soon. i'm praying for you and cant wait to hear more progress.

Spouses are definitely.a great factor in a successful recovery! Every day wthout pain is truly a gift!!! !!
 
New mattress , that is awesome. Did they give you the exercises to do when you were at the hospital? I would do those, not much this early on though.
I also had the 10 days of shots. Five left when I got home and I messed one up not waiting to be shown how to do it. They sent a nurse over as no one in the hospital showed me how to do it. The nurse I had was convinced my doctor would never send me home with injections!!!:hehe:

How come you got off so lightly? I had to have mine for 6 weeks!

I'm with you, Jo. I have 6 shots to go for a total of 31. My poor belly is covered with little bruises.
