Hi, sorry I never posted anything.
Been having problems with the pain meds, as soon as I take them I am gone, dead tired and cant remember anything that is told to me.
Surgery was good, had extreme pain in the beginning, first 2 weeks, now its better but I tried to get of meds too fast. That was not to good. Didn't know that you have to get off gradually. Could not remember the doc told me that.
Having big problems with stretching the knee out. One day I was at 4 degrees and the next I am at 13 degrees. But PT says we will get there. Have no problems with bending the knee I am over 105 if I remember right. PT said I am ahead of the game there.
But I am ready to get back to work I hate laying around. I have no swelling at all. You can hardly tell that I was operated on, only the bandage gives it up.
I walk a lot around the house and I even go in the yard when my son goes with, he will not allow me to go alone. If you fall, he said, I will be mad, don't go alone. All in all it's going up hill and this is day 16. Will keep you posted.... chris
