  The latest word on my knee replacement surgery is that I can't stay awake to save my soul! Kinda hard to when all you do is take pain pills and lay with your leg above your heart all day long! Sat at the table for lunch today and a grapefruit bulged out the side of my thigh so back to my recliner I went. PT came yesterday and took a couple exercises out of my regimen and told me to baby the knee. Home care nurse called today and said she got an order from my doc to take the staples out on Friday. I see my surgeon next Tuesday the 7th. Hopefully things with my thigh will start calming down soon. That's all folks!!!

Obviously, you need to sleep to heal, so sleep!  Just think about how much movement and freedom you will have in a few months - that is a pretty good thought, so hold on to it and heal!

Oh, MAK, you poor thing! I tell ya - all I did was schlep around here for weeks after my little drama. So your body is telling you to REST - listen to it, Girl!! Thinking about ya lots!

Slainte!

MAK!  I sure am thinking of you and praying you get better fast!  Everyone is right sleep!  Hopefully you can do that!  Just keep thinking not much happening in the raptor world right now, your goal should be to be up and about once the eggs are hatched and little raptors getting ready to take flight! 

Bobbie Ireland,  too funny about the schlep, I haven't heard that word in a long time and then there is the word Schlepp which I have been told is to lick, good thing the spell check didn't throw that one in there!  LOL!

Grunt!

Grunt!

  I did a little grunting today when the nurse took out the staples in my knee! A little ouchie but not too bad. She put some strips on the entire incision and 2 gauze pads over the area that's still draining. I'll have to clean and change the dressing once a day until it stops draining and the strips fall off. My thigh continues to be a problem. My doc must have really messed around in there for it remains swollen and very painful but better than it was. I am getting around better on it and I figure I'm about 10 days behind the last knee at this point!

You still are better than you were!  At least the surgery is OVER and you are now on the road to recovery!  I sure hope the healing speeds up so you are soon getting around better an better!  Hang in there!  You are woman you are STRONG!
