I'm home. The procedure went fine, I'm told. The doc said about the same things he did last time...torn meniscus, arthritis, cleaned it all up. Said rehab will likely be similar - only this time Leslie ain't pushing it or rushing things. This time, post op like pre op, it is much more painful so I will be using the pain medication to the max if I need, which I do now. Walking hurts like hell. Thank God for crutches. I never used them one time after the last surg. Quite different.
That's it - thanks for good wishes and inquiries. Not sure when I'll be back but wanted to give my dear blog buds the update. Take care.
Whew! Glad it went well and take good care of yourself.
ReplyDeleteGlad you're home safe and well. Hope the recovery goes quickly!
ReplyDeleteI'd go to town with the pain meds. There is no use in suffering if you don't have to. I threw my back out once and I can't remember a thing for a week after. (Go barbiturates!)
ReplyDeleteGlad it went well and is over. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear it went well. Good job deciding you get your upper body strength training in by using crutches to help ease the weight load on the healing joint! :) Pain pills are given for a reason, so that you rest and heal, do not use them to accomplish more than you should please.
ReplyDeleteHi Leslie. So glad it all went well. Really look after yourself on every level - the mental as well as the physcial. And I hope the pain eases ASAP.

I am glad the surgery seems to have gone well. Take care of yourself.
ReplyDeleteDid you have to come home on a sled? Were you in the area(s) that were really dumped on yet again?
ReplyDeleteMy husband flew in from the south late last night and had a hard time getting home from the airport - and we didn't have nearly as much as the east coast.
glad things went well.
Glad you figured out to use the crutches to give things a chance to heal - what were you thinking? Super Woman Syndrome?
Glad to hear the surgery went well. Take care of yourself and stay medicated, there's no need to feel the pain.
