I am very happy that the MUA went as it was supposed to. I no longer have the tight rubber band feeling going across the knee..I could tell yesterday that is was much more loose. The knee seems a bit more unstable this morning, but I think that might have to do with the swelling...Staying on top of the pain meds, back on the Oxy IR and Oxy ER..Will transition to Norco this weekend..wanted to make sure that I have enough pain control with having PT everyday for the rest of this week. I was pretty anxious before the procedure, even began to cry a bit before they put the IV in...I was less anxious before the TKR..The anesthesiologist said that they were going to put me in a twilight sleep and that I would feel some pain but not remember it...that was a HUGE OMG! I told him that he better knock me out good so I don't feel ANY pain or I would most likely be a very unhappy patient! I was even upset while they were putting in the IV, which is something I am pretty used to...I remember them giving me some "happy juice" in the IV and then I remember going from one bed to another in the OR..that was the end of it..I woke up in recovery and I was crying...I didn't have a lot of pain last night and was able to sleep...I am back on the CPM machine and back to using the walker for a little bit..I want to concentrate on walking correctly and feel more stable...the moral of this long winded update is that Im glad I did it!
