Post Sugery Update

My knee replacement surgery was April 10.  The replacement center is terrific and they have their act together.  My scheduled surgery time was 7:00 a.m. and just at that right time I was being wheeled away.  Prep was easy, I got a little sick to my stomach in getting the IV inserted which was unusual for me.  They gave me an epidural block in my left leg so I wouldn't be in such pain when I work from regular anesthesia.

I stayed three days in the hospital and had therapy the very day of surgery.  The staff at the hospital was terrific and the food wasn't bad either.

I had 36 staples and the incision was 6" long and I think he made it pretty straight so it should heal nicely.  I go to the Dr. on Thursday and get those removed so it should be easier to move.  My therapists said my ROM is at 107 and we are shooting for 120 so not far to go.  And I can practice walking around the house without my walker.

So I'm doing really doing well but don't have specifics when I'll be back to TN.  Jonathan and Taylor are looking after me very well.

Later...
