Stiil alive and almost kicking!!

Well everyone I am still alive and kicking. Well almost kicking ;o) The knee replacement went real well till the day after when took a full fall on my new knee. Not even a femoral block paralyzing my leg stopped the pain. Been battling that since. I sooo hate pain. I am almost off the morphine!! That is a good thing. Went to Sub Acute care for several days after released from the hospital. Been home a few days now. Still curled up in bed. I get PT at home 3 days a week as well as other help at home for a little while. The knee is doing well and moving well. I hobble quiet well with a walker now. One step closer to getting out of my wheelchair permanently. AND BTW my one year anniversary for my bypass is in a couple days. I am 2 pounds short of 200 lost!!!!!! I am dropping pretty fast since surgery and have no doubt I will make the 200 by the 21st!!!! Kathleen
