MUA performed at different facility. I really did have adhesions and have noticed a different feel in motion walking around house and doing bike back and forths.
The procedure was done at a different facility than TKA and it was awful.
Anesthesiologist kept saying different plan than what I had discussed with surgeon, disregarded my request for assistance when I informed the 5 people around my bed I was anxious, overwhelmed and could I get some help. Proceeded to do nerve block while I was awake, cogent and yelled.
I was supposed to be sedated. The Dr. Seemed surprised tonight that I remembered. Damn thing hurt!
Post procedure pain was higher than original TKA and they didn't believe me. Turns out the block only numbed below my knee. I get every one has different bodies...but I think this guy really missed.
Will be writing up my experience and ensuring not only facility receives it, but the surgeon too.
Also, nurse doing IV deliberately (?) Broke her glove for dominant index finger to be outside of glove! What is that about? Post op nurse poo pooed my pain level reporting. Insisted I only ingest crushed ice when I wanted room temp water and was upset when my husband said, no when the nurse asked him to help me dress. No other patients there...
Not impressed with this facility AT ALL.
Thanks for the "ear" tonight!
