QUESTION i have a large hand towel folded in4 slipped under my knees with the outside part rolled to give some layeral support. Will this be detrimental to extension? It just makes sleeping more comfortable

Not for the amount of time it will be there Maggie. Extension will come in rehab just chill for the next few days. The walks will be enough. Like the bandages never saw them before. You are doing terrific but I knew you would. Sleep is most important now

Congratulations on your two new Strykers---a matching set!!!

I will be soon sending you a DVD of the World Famous BTKR "Secret Handshake"!

Not a problem at all---at this stage of the game----comfort is what it is all about.


As for for the lack of concentration---the pain meds and the sleepiness all add up to the need for zzzzzzz's and that is all normal!

I could not grade papers that were dropped off to me---for more than ten or fifteen minutes at a time---my lkife on Oxycontin was inside of one giant cottonball.
 
Congrats. Xxxx I will be praying for you. Better woman than I am. Lol one was enough for me

Yeah for a better PT experience and meds that are working!!

RE the towel - I've had moments off and on of a pillow here or there and starting to worry if I'm causing an issue if it's not in the exact right position but that road leads to madness say I! I'm just going to do my best and let my body heal.

RE the meds - I'm seemingly lucid, mostly, until I try to read something other than a text or post - then it's like I am trying to decipher....@Legin! LOL. This, too, shall pass.

Glad you're doing better Maggie!

That was just the way I felt when I tried to read or to grade essays.

I took several great books with me to the hospital, hoping to read them after my surgery.

Nope.

I either was too groggy; I slept, or I had the concentration of a small rodent. nothing worked.

It was very difficult to grade essays, as I had to not only think critically, but also write comments down, too.
 
Hi Maggie! Glad to see you made it! Now's the time to catch up on your Netflix (I highly recommend 'Sherlock'). I'd ad lots of advice, but you already have a ton of awesome info at your fingertips so I'll just say, if you need anything, let somebody know. You've got a fantastic support group here.
You're in my prayers my friend!

Hi Maggie,
You are doing great! I'm curious about the honeycomb dressing you have on your knees. Is it attached to an ice machine?
I'm on day 10 now and I can tell you that every day gets better. Keeping the pain under control is most important.
Don't worry about the typos. Legin has prepared us well!
