HOME FROM THE HOSPITAL

I came home from the hospital on Friday and am doing well. This knee replacement surgery has certainly been easier than the first one. I have been told that the "feel good stuff" will be wearing off and the aching in the knee and leg will set in but that this is normal. I have lots of physical therapy to go through to get the bend in the knee but at least I can get around the house a bit with the use of the walker. I am unable to do anything but work on a crossword puzzle. No stitching because I should not sit in that position very long. And my time at the computer is to be very limited. So, I am just reporting in and will cut this short.

Thank you for all the well wishes. I won't be able to read your blog posts for a while but I will be there in spirit cheering you on over the holiday season.

I had knee replacement surgery (partial)on 12/8/09. Recovery is not fun, is it? I will think of you, especially during PT exercises. Why can't our skin be as resilient as the interior of our knee -- that part that doesn't want to bend? We'd look 20 years old if it did.
