Upsydaisy's Knee

Thank you @Sheal , yes that's my plan! x

 

Good to know it went well and is out of the way now @Upsydaisy I hope you'll be pain free soon, take care xx

 

Hope you aren't in too much pain, wishing you a speedy recovery @Upsydaisy

 

Only just reading this as I don't come on the computer in the evenings but so pleased you are safe and warm at home being pampered by hubs.

Please only do the exercises necessary and at this point don't go that extra mile because you feel you can ... you know I will nag you. xx

On all the items I have done lately I only use three stitches ... chain, single and double!

Tylenol, Panadol, etc.

 

Thanks Vicky, I promise to behave ( let's do a deal...you mustn't push yourself either, aggravating that poor knee yesterday.....OK )

One sheet of exercises are specifically for the early stages of recovery to keep it flexible then gradually they get combined with the remaining ones to build up joint strength.

Searching for a crochet hook..... I know I've seen one lurking around some where and looking very lonely!!

I hope the pain is getting better Upsydaisy. Take care

 

Agreed!

You must let me know what these are.

After knee surgery here, the next day you are put on a CPM (Continuous Passive Motion) contraption in your bed. As you are in hospital for 2-5 days (they don't believe in day surgery) one might be saddled with this thing fro day 2 onwarrd by the Physio, along with up and walking and doing stairs.

No it's only day surgery for keyhole on the knee here, anything more and you stay in.

My sister had the same as you after her knees were replaced. She was in for 4 days both times.

 

Thanks @Michael Hewett , it's settling down to a throb now, if anything my throat is more painful now after having the breathing tube down it, never suffered this before...I can hardly speak!! Peaceful day for hubs!! xx

 

Thanks @shiney , glad to hear that you eventually got your meds.

I have actually got some much stronger ones given to me a few months back , but I really do try to avoid medication if possible. I've tried to keep my mind occupied today in the hope it would dull the pain receptors....it's worked to a certain degree. xx

 

Thanks @Andrea Youll . xx

 

Thanks @john558 ...it's gradually becoming more tolerable......not too sure if I am though!!. xx

 

@Upsydaisy glad that it went well and hope that you don't have too much pain. Hubs are very useful at these times.

 

Thanks @Logan, yes they are aren't they!!
I am well aware though that he has some on going health worries too at the moment, in fact it's his turn to have a procedure done at the same hospital tomorrow!! Right pair we are at the moment!! I was initially upset at the thought of not being able to go with him this time...but will now decide if I'm able to or not tomorrow. xx
