Got home yesterday 3 days post op!
Went to the OR at 2:15 PM Monday. Have some recollection of cutting and pounding going on. Was in recovery for a few hours and was back in the ward shortly after 6:00 PM.
Was discharged home yesterday before noon. Was good to sleep in my own bed last night rather than the clatter and sleep interruptions in a surgical ward.
Today I had my first visit from home therapy. Flexion was 65. She says my problem will probably be that I try too hard and don't relax enough. We all know that is easier said than done. She was surprised that I don't have more swelling. I'm on Endocet (an oxycodone) and Tylenol for pain. Have to take the Fragmin shots for 30 days because of previous DVT and emboylism (sp?).
Many thanks for all the good wishes. This forum is the greatest.
