TKR macduf387 has crossed over to recovery - round 2

@macduf387 , I have been praying and thinking about your family. I pray that your husband will have good results from his tests and that you can heal steadily. It is hard to understand why things happen when they do. we can't control them, but we can pray and let family and friends help us. I am so glad you are not alone through all of this. The Lord is with you. Please let us know how things go.
 
Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. I thank the Lord for being in control of all things. I managed some sleep last night.I just spoke to my husband they are running a barrage of tests he has had die injected and xrays taken and also a mri he is doing the stress test around 8.30am. He sounds a lot better this morning convinced that nothing is wrong, I hope he is right but i think he had a mild heart attack and they re trying to figure out if there is any damage and how to treat him. I do thank the Lord for my family and friends and new found friends on bonesmart you have all been a blessing> i think he is over the worst he is strong I just want him home with me.
I will keep you posted.
 
Anytime there is any doubt, the hospital will admit him just to be on the safe side. Sounds like he is in good hands. Fingers crossed for the best of all possible outcomes for both of you.
 
Some news they did every possible test on my husbands heart and they could find nothing wrong. They say he didnt have a heart attack. I cant believe they found nothing. Just very thankful to have him home with me. I am going to find a good cardiologist to look over the results. Thank you once again for all your thoughts and prayers. as far as my progress. I am doing well pain meds every 5 hours, I am doing my own pt exercises as pt has not shown up. I am getting good movement in my Knee, I can nearly lift my leg up on its own. I am pleased with the progress. I am still sleeping a lot especially after taking pain meds. One thing I noticed is my new knee has a click when i walk. Is this normal?.
Best wishes and prayers to all my fellow November nimbles. sweet dreams
:loveshwr::yay:
 
I'm very happy your husband received a clean bill of health. :dancy:

The clicking is normal. There is an article in the library about it unfortunately I don't know the link. I have it about half the time now. Have a great nights rest!
 
Oh, my! I missed the whole story until just now. What a frightening time for you and your DH. Sooooo glad he got a clean bill of health, but I totally agree with you about getting him to a cardiologist. Take care of both of you and REST!
 
It's been a few days since I posted anything on my recovery. I am 10 days post op yay a bit of a roller coaster but mainly good rather than bad. I have learnt things through trial and error. Pain meds are spot on, my ice machine is my new best friend :ice: . My hubby gave me quite a scare but he is okay thank you Lord. So tomorrow I see os to get my staples out. I have been told to take pain pills before staple removal. :flabber:
Looking forward to getting them out as they are uncomfortable especially on the bend. Still very tired and nap when I need too.
Hang in there nimblest one day at a time brings us closer to full recovery.
Have a great day all of you.
 
Good report! The staple removal just sort of pinches. Not terrible, just uncomfortable. I wanted to watch as I had never had staples, but I was my home health nurse's first knee patient and she was not very gentle! Lol! I decided I better not watch! It will be easier to bend your knee in a couple of days after you get them out. Don't do PT tomorrow! Give yourself some extra rest time. :thud:
 
Thank you for the heads up @Thesoutherncook. I hope the os nurse is gentle because that's a lot of staples. I had about 10 staples in my head one time when I walked into the slide of our RV not good. The doctor at the ER put the staples in without giving me some numbing medicine. My husband watched as I curled up my toes in pain as he put each staple in. Not a pleasant experience.
 
Here is a photo of some of my 4 legged bed mates at the moment
:puppysmooze::doggie::dogsniff::dogwalk:
The little ones are my rat terriers and the big tan one is my grand dog kalie a Rhodesian ridgeback.

Hi @macduf387 . Such wonderful news about your husband!! The hospital put him through the paces and got a clean bill of health.
Love your furry bed mates. I have a mini Doxie and a German Shepard. We lost our Rhodesian ridgeback last year, she was the sweetest dog ever!! She was so frightened by thunder and fireworks and always jumped in our bed. I miss her.
 
We have a 12 yr old Mini Schnauzer. He sleeps with us most nights but has to be lifted up onto the bed. He scratches on each side of the bed until someone wakes up enough to pick him up. He especially liks the electric blanket in winter! Poor thing probably needs TKR! :wink:
 
@Glamg1979 love love German shepherds grew up with them all my life. When we moved from South Africa we arrived in LA with our three German shepherds and Pomeranian mix and a cat. We have since lost our German shepherds due to old age and ended up with Roxy who I said should have some puppies and my husband said at the time don't we will end up with all the puppies. Well of course I said no we will find them good homes and then they were born and named that day 6 puppies 2 did go together to friends and we kept 4 so I now have a rat pack :heehee::rotfl: which I love. I would love another German Shepard but have enough babies for now, as I get to baby sit my grand dogs .
