It’s been a week today since surgery, and things are going really well! Pain has been very manageable, I’ve been taking 2-4 oxycodone total per day (I was only prescribed 24 total) and 2 naproxen per day. Had some more severe pain in the middle of the 5th night (6-7), requiring 2 oxycodone to quiet, the rest of the time I have a pain level of 0-2. I’ve been icing frequently, elevating and using a cpm machine about 3-4 hours per day. Swelling continues to reduce and my range of motion and use of surgical leg is improving! My husband and I even went out for dinner tonight! (I used a walker, propped leg in booth part of the time and stretched it out underneath part of the time.)
Still taking one day at a time, very grateful for how my new Lefty is doing so far!
