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.

ReplyDeleteI am so glad you live at a time when something like a knee can be replaced and get you on your way back to normal mobility. Hope the PT is not too bad!
ReplyDeleteSo happy it well Larry! What a blessing :) It is amazing what they can do with old worn out parts. Praying for a quick, painless complete recovery soon. Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving - guess you won't have to stand in front of the sink and wash dishes! Bonus!

Happy Thanksgiving. I hope for a speedy recovery. May I suggest you only have 2 pieces of pumpkin pie today. You are in training now.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a plan
DeleteGive yourself a few weeks and you are going to be feeling a whole lot better! So glad everything went well.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving! Ben's cooking will be just around the corner.

So happy to hear that you are on the road to recovery!
ReplyDeleteI'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.
ReplyDeleteCongrats 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.
ReplyDeleteI'm a little late, but very glad to hear that all went well. Keep up the PT, as much as it isn't fun. I know, been there, done that. I'll read on for updates. Deb
