Hey Wanda, thanks for the concern. I did have a really bad day yesterday. Thought I would play the tough hero act and cut my pain meds in half. Wrong thing to do The AS part of things felt good this week on the increased Oxy so I though after 5 days it was time to try my normal lower dose. Oh, terrible day and night.
It's 4 am and can't sleep, can't start up the upped dose of Oxy until my AM dose at 7 this morning so I'm just riding things out with more percocet. Fevers are finally down though and that's a good thing. I have my post op visit with my surgeon Monday, I sure hope he is pleased with things so far and doesn't talk about manipulating this knee early like he said last week. He will be leaving after my appointment to go on a hunting trip for a week and I hope to have things moving on my own by then. I have managed to get outside several times a day to walk up and down our road with crutches so I am keeping myself moving.
It's just one big waiting game now. My surgeon and I are both waiting on pins and needles to see if this whole thing works. I don't know who is more anxious at this point, him or me. We'll see what he says on Monday.
Cindy

Hey Jude it's great to hear from you, sorry you had to work this weekend, but , I guess 5 weeks off makes if go a little easier. Got in my truck and drove today. Now I know I can at least get where ever I need to go and not have to depend on anyone else and tomorrow's a big day with my post op appointment with my surgeon and start of phyical therapy. I'm going to hit the road and keep on going, only a week and a half of independence lost.

Cindy,
I am so excited that you were able to drive today. I can't believe the feeling of independance you get just from being able to get yourself around places. Good luck tomorrow, I'll be thinking of you.

Take Care of yourself and quite trying to be a hero. Just take those pain meds when you need them and who the heck cares what others think. You are the one that has to sleep and function otherwise how are you supposed to heal properly.

Have a great day, get some sleep tonight and I will pray that everything goes well for you tomorrow.

Jill

Good sakes alive gal, that is totally amazing. Between the surgeon, his team and yourself - what can one say Bloody brilliant and many congratulations.

This might interest you - a live webcast of a Zimmer *woman's* prothesis knee surgery on the 14 Sept: Zimmer 'Gender Solutions High-Flex Knee Replacement'. Webcast Link: http://www.OR-Live.com

"On Thursday, September 14, at 6:30 PM EDT, Pennsylvania Hospital in Philadelphia, PA will broadcast a live total knee replacement procedure featuring the Zimmer Gender Solutions High-Flex Knee, the first knee replacement shaped to fit a woman's anatomy. View this on OR-Live.com

Visit now to learn more and view a program preview.
Robert E. Booth, Jr., M.D., Chief of Orthopaedic Surgery at Pennsylvania Hospital, Philadelphia, PA, will perform the surgery. The webcast will be moderated by Giles R. Scuderi, M.D., Director, Insall Scott Kelly Institute, and Assistant Clinical Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, New York, NY."

It was the 'Zimmer' (desp name) that caught my attention, so investigated further. I intend to be sat here watching it - but mebbe you have probably 'had enough'...

Anyway, wonderful news, well done you.

Molly

Hey Molly, thanks for the heads up, but, yeah, you guessed it, I've had enough info to last me a life time and seen so many knee replacements. I think they should televise mine it would be more interresting
