I Made it thru the 1st knee replacement!

Well folks I don't post here that often... But I am a lurker and thought I would post that I made it thru total knee replacement surgery on my right knee. I went in on Wednesday and got out this afternoon. I am walking on it and all. Its a bit sore but that what the good drugs are all about.. LOL! I am getting around with a walk for now... I just had to pop in and tell you all I am still alive!! Take care, Tom

Excellent news Tom. I have seen many of these and you're in for a long haul in Physical Therapy but I've been told it's beats the alternate Heal well and don't over do it. Take care Sparky

That awesome Tom.. I was wondering about you the other day. You know you are allowed to pop in here more and actually POST.. take care

Glad you made it thru with little to no difficulty!! Going to have to have both mine done in about a year so it will be nice to have a friend thats already gone thru it to tell me how horrible it is! ps...DON'T LURK...POST!!

Well Wanette, I have to tell you what it Frickin hurt, comming off of the anesthesia and nerve blockers for over 12 hours I was a yellin and scream !! Why I did I do this... But they nurses kept on reassuring me that it was going to get better and it did... I am up and walking around today with just a cane around the apartment here and feeling not to bad. Infact the incision is ichin like crazy so I know at least its healin good. I have been really pushing the protien for the last 3 weeks and I think that has to do alot too. But it is a bit sore too. So I am doctorin it up with my pain meds too. I am looking at getting my left one done too... Maybe here this Spring after the right one heals up. But my surgeon asked me if I wanted both done last week and I said Hell NO! So he said give it at least 7 weeks between each surgery and go for it.. So I have to look at that way. Its no cake walk thats for sure! Wishing the Best!! Yes I will be posting more now darn it!! LOL!
