I had a total knee replacement a week ago, and have been very busy with doing my physical therapy and icing and stretching and walking and such. Actually fills up the days pretty completely!
I was doing really well pain-wise the early part of the week, and then all the pain control they'd given me during surgery started wearing off, and my pain levels have actually INCREASED starting over the weekend (and yes, I had it checked to make sure everything is still okay). So I'm having to deal with that while still making sure I don't lose any of the ground I've gained in mobility and strength. Hopefully by the end of the week the pain levels will start to moderate once again.
Anyway, just thought I'd let everyone know. I haven't been ignoring posts!
and that's over for you. Now mend quickly. My knees are bad too, so I sympathize. But surgery isn't for me. I just couldn't bring myself to do that. But at some point who knows.
I understand that is a painful recovery. I hope it goes well and you are feeling better really soon!! My thoughts and prayers are with you. Also kitties send their gentle hugs and purrsss...Love those who are with you today.....purrsss, Remember those from previously...mewz
I hope it stops hurting right now. Loads of luck and Acme Magic and prayers. NM
