Surgery is set for friday March 14 high noon

I'll be praying that all goes well for you Lisa! It's good that you are getting it taken care of. Just be sure to do all the physical therapy they require (even at home)... this will speed up the healing process and give you your mobility back sooner. I am still having problems with my knee... I'm currently wearing a leg brace that forces it to go straight and I'm going to therapy 3 times a week. It's annoying but I can feel my leg finally beginning to get back it's full range of motion. I had my surgery back in October...ugh. I've been working so hard at getting my knee to recover...but unfortunately I have one of those rubber knees that just won't stay straight. Just hang in there and work through the pain.... and do all the p.t. exercises they tell you to do. And take the drugs when needed... I've enjoyed my percocets on many occassions....LOL!

Thanks Lisa.. I will be looking at your strength and encourament in the weeks and comming months. I know the hard work it is getting back strength and the PT to come... I do worry about pain drugs and very scared due to fact I got addicted to percocets when I had surgery on my jaw after a very horrible car accident I went threw the windshield, had no idea u could get addcited to them So I will need to get off pain meds asap.. I never want to live threw that nightmare again.. when I went back for more jaw surgery in july I got off pain meds asap even tho I could have used them for months I told myself a week only .. after that u have a huge increase being addicted to pain drugs, Good thing alot of them make me sick and I will never take percocet again.. I never wanted to hear I was addicted to pain drugs again.. I was so shocked I am clean cut girl that does not drink smoke no coffee or no tea or indulged in any funny cigs etc.. I am person who grinds her own wheat and eats organic food I don't even eat margerine I grow my own food .. I swear somewhere inside me their is a Amish gene.. But then i remember my route 44 oz rootbeers and think MY VICE WAS SODA I am a sodaholic in the worst way My OBESITY came in a stryofoam cup I drank my way to 295 lbs. Soda was like a drug to me I knew early on I have a very addictive peronaility why I avoided smoking drugs. April 1 I will be one year soda free. Lisa
