Best wishes for your appointment, @Wrangler . I'll be interested to hear how you get on.

Happy thoughts for both Wrangler and kvhundley at your appointments tomorrow.

 

[Wrangler]

It's MUA time. I am on my way to the hospital. The procedure is scheduled for 1:00. I wil be in the hospital for 3 days. I will be on the CPM machine and will have an epidural. My OS was lovely today. I will update once I'm on the other side. I guess my header needs to be changed MUA - 7 weeks. Feeling brave and confident.

 

[Clipless]

You will do great. Many happy bends ahead!

Thanks all ... still waiting.

 

[kvhundley]

Best of luck to you!!!

 

[Wrangler]

All went well. In recovery and on a CPM machine. I can't feel anything below my belly button so it's all good. Pain free!!! Got to 135 in the OR.

You must feel a huge sense of relief. You're over the hump. I am thrilled for you. We had our surgeries the same day. I am also having a slow ROM recovery. I'm at 80°.....see my OS tomorrow....
Good luck with your recovery

 

[Clipless]

135?? Spectacular!!!

 

[kvhundley]

Yay!

 

[Wrangler]

Good luck with your appointment @maui

@Wrangler you go girl - happy for you - Maggie x

Amazing 135 in operating room! Wished they could keep the epidural or spinal blocks going for several days to keep the CPM going full blast so the adhesions won't have a chance to come back! keeping you in my thoughts and hope this will do the trick!

 

[Wrangler]

@numbzee - they have kept the epidural active! I am still on the CPM - it's good to see the old knee bending, I am icing religiously too.
There were no rooms available on the wards so they kept me in recovery. I had it all to myself last night and got fantastic one to one care by the nursing staff. They also have a never ending supply of Popsicles.

@Maggie94 - thanks for all the support from sunny Sidney. My brother worked in Sydney and met his wife there. I have had the pleasure of visiting your beautiful city a few times.

@maui I hope your appointment went well - thinking of you.

@Clipless, @kvhundley, @ibis and @appaloosa girl thanks for all the support!!

Hi @Wrangler, best news here!!! Love that you are doing so well. Won't be long and you will be home and resting and recovering in your own bed.
Love the 135 rom, way to go!!!
