Thanks Iceman! I think today they finally got a plan together for my pain. Short and long acting pain control, although the nausea is still hanging around So I need to ask about that.
I was in the CPM machine exactly once and it shredded me. Now it's just heel slides which I'm grateful for.
PTs seem very reasonable here. I walked to the bathroom, hooray (with assistance
).
My THR surgery was difficult and I felt like I was disoriented all the time. Now I feel a little more lucid, as I need to keep track of the on demand meds vs. automatically dispensed.
House clean and set up for me when I get home. Splurged for a Golden zero gravity for my knees, but also my other hip. Found out that with a pin change on the underside if the chair, it will lift straight up. So, a big investment for a big return. It's also an alternative sleeping spit to my bed.
Purchased a Don joy ice machine with many little bottles now freezing nicely in my freezer waiting for me to get home. I think I'm all set. Can get good fresh food delivered.
The last piece of good news is that I may be able to get into my first choice rehab hospital. You have to give them a list and they'll let you known what's available on your release day.
Sitting up now in a hip chair for an hour to get the blood moving around. I'll guarantee you as soon as get out; I'll be napping!
