I think I already created a recovery thread, a couple days after my TKR but I can't find it. It is 7 days today and I am going to PT in a bit, I will not let the therapist push me to the pain limit. Speaking of pain, I live in upstate NY where it seems the entire community has banned opiods. If you call any doctor, the greeting message is about not prescribing opiods. My surgeon gave me 7 days of opiods,tylenol 3 but I got very nauseous. He then switched me to celebrix only, 3 days post surgery and the pain was unreal. My primary did prescribe zofran and tramadol for 10 days and I am making due with that for now. Otherwise I am following the bonesmart philosophy of rice and gentle exercises. I am able to make it to the bathroom now without a cane or walker-eureaka! I am feeling blue though, it has been beautiful weather and I am stranded upstairs. I have a very active dog who will go bonkers if she sees me and she is behind gates downstairs. I am trying to keep my morale up but it is hard. Yesterday I snapped at my husband and son because of something to do with the microwave- silly. That's about all for now. I can't find anything to distract me anymore to stream and my goodness the news is so bleak. I have caught up with all my podcasts and don't seem to have the attention span to read which makes me sad as I am an addictive reader. Thanks for listening and please move this post if needed, I am a bit confused these days
