How is the knee coming on Star? Have you been out yet?
Just trying to manage the pain meds .. I thought at the 3 wk mark, I should be able to wean off the pain pills that make me stoooopid and go to over-the-counter pills, but I suffered like the devil yesterday. So, I’m just half-stooopid .. breaking the Rx meds in half ..LOL .. and so far, thank God, I’m a thousand times better today.
Yep .. I’ve been out a lot .. and I get therapy here 2-3 times a week, as well as the home nurse to take my blood for the Coumadin level. That will unfortunately go on for 6 months. My knee is really strong .. my surgeon is an artist, truly. I threw the walker and cane away just about after the 1st week, but still dealing with swelling and pain.
Just have to get through this stage, which I pray gets better soon. But as I’m reminded, it is major surgery. Thanks for asking ..hope you and Dad are doing well. Hugs ;)
