I only took one of the pills. I hated them! I'd rather just take the pain then feel as screwed up as those pain pills did. I love how after the operation they give you a list of things that you cannot do, then the physical therapist reads the list and does every darn one of them! :lol:
The only thing they didn't have was leeches and thumbscrews :shock:

I know the surgery hurts, but does the knee itself feel any better? They didn't do a knee replacement, they reconstructed the ACL, and took the rest of the other muniscis out. All the arthritis is still there, and if this doesn't work, then they will replace the knee. Like I said, it hurts like hell...lol

I empathise more than you might know...having been informed I'll be "walking a mile in your moccasins" here in a few years...... Either way...get well soon and stay in out of this damn snow---no shoveling for you today!

No, the shin bone hurts like HELL...lol They drilled holes and put screws in.
Be forewarned that you might not see a steady improvement during your rehab but more like a series of plateaus where you don't seem to get better for a while then all of a sudden something happens (scar tissue breaks up etc) and you move to another higher & better level. So don't get discouraged if you don't seem to be getting better....YOU WILL!! |
