Knee Replacement

Hi Faithful Readers - As of Monday morning, I have a brand new right knee and the doctor said everything went very well.  When I came back from recovery, I went very quickly from the bed to a recliner and they actually took me for a short walk mid-afternoon.  After a night of very little sleep (checked my vitals every two hours and my machines kept alarming) I went off to my first therapy about mid morning and I really enjoyed it - NOT.

I now really know how spoiled I am eating Bev's cooking as the meal for lunch today reminded me of high school cafeteria food - all part of their plan to help me lose weight.

I'll keep you posted when something eventful happens and I can do a food post if anyone is really interested in what I'm eating here.

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by Almost Heaven South.

  16. I've been thinking about you. Glad the surgery went well. Just relax and enjoy being pampered. I had to laugh about the two hour checks in the middle of the night. I had the same treatment. One whispering nurse kept telling me to just relax and sleep after waking me up for vital checks constantly.

  17. Congrats for getting that over with. Bob was in the hospital in October and yes, no sleep (only catnaps all night) and he was glad to get home to some good food.
