Howdy from the land of pain pills and physical terrorists.
Well, I lived.Two weeks ago this morning the doctor told me they were gonna do something called a nerve block on my leg. This was to keep the swelling down and make it easier on me during surgery. It felt strange and when I woke up I told Janet, I'll be glad when this wears off because it is weird and crazy not being able to feel my leg. WRONG wish!
At any rate, I got one new knee joint and I am working about 6 hours a day to regain my range of motion.I have never used this much ice and not had a drink.
It is a god thing my upper body was as strong as what it is because that has helped me get around quite a good bit.I have been able to walk from to house to the barn and back for 3-4 days now, which I guess is 3/8 of a mile. I am tired but there is always ICE.
See ya down the recovery road!
