Back in business
Well, the total knee replacement went very well. I am amazed at how this procedure is so effectively done and I am walking with no pain. I stayed in the hospital for a week's worth of physical therapy, and then for the next two weeks a physical therapist came to my house several times a week. Today was the first day of physical therapy at an outside facility. At all three arenas of therapy, they were blown away at how well and how fast my new knee kicked in!!!And it is not even one month yet!!
Truthfully, because I had to go off of my RA meds for a total of a month, most of my problems were related to my arthritis, Holy Smokes!! And naturally there were the normal 'far-out experiences' that always seem to be in my aura.
A good night's sleep will translate to a better account of my hospital stay.
I will say that it has been harder getting my energy level back. Tired doesn't begin to explain it. Tomorrow....my roommate and all of the adventures that we weathered!!
