Hi
How is everyone doing.

I am doing fine apart from having a infection in the wound where they cut the vein and I am on a course of antibiotics. The nurse is coming today to wash out the wound with irriclens (does this sting) and to change the dressing.

I have brought forward this month's list so that you can easily see who your surgical buddies are.

You are now an Honor Graduate

from your pre-op days! You've entered the recovery phase of your replacement journey to that place called “Normal”, and you are now eligible to be a

Recovery Club member.

Pre-op surgery team members are automatically recovery team members. If you were not on the pre-op list, please join your fellow travelers in this month’s post-op club by requesting your name and surgery date be added to the roster.

Being a team member will allow you to share your

questions, concerns, and experiences; give one another

support and encouragement;

vent, whine, and shed some tears, if necessary; and have some

fun and laughs together. (Please do the above in one another’s recovery threads. And if you find your fun and laughs taking over an individual thread, toss them over to the Social Room to keep your recovery thread on target.)
Recovery is a long journey

made shorter and easier when made with

fellow travelers. So, start you membership in this special club today by requesting that your name and surgery date be added to the list!

I think I've hit a wall. I'm completely exhausted and in pain. Any pointers would be appreciated!

My OS gave an interesting advise at my 4-wk post op appointment. I am rewording: "try not to approach recovery in athletic way but rather try to follow tai-chi style in this endeavor." I was never involved in tai chi except two instances. My Chinese colleague explained to me meaning of "chi" once. Also, for last several years I've been walking from subway station to work through Chinatown, specifically, through main park. Over years, I saw all different types and styles of tai chi in the mornings in that park. Eventually, I was kind of intrigued just by watching it but never tried doing it myself. May be this is my chance now. The OS was talking, of course, not about gymnastics itself but the overall approach which is kind of slow, harmonized and beautiful.
