coming to confession, or just call me crash

Glad to hear that you won the bought with the shower, it can be daunting after surgery. Enjoy cuddling with your fur-baby and hope each day is better than the one before!

Beth - Glad to hear you're feeling a bit better! I am so lucky that I don't get nauseous from anesthesia or pain meds, so I can't even imagine how yucky that would be. Nor can I imagine trying to cope alone after surgery -- so sorry you are having to! My DH helped me immensely in the weeks after my pelvic fracture surgery, and I had a walker. Could only do sponge baths for a couple weeks, though, as our only showers were upstairs. Once I could scoot on my butt up the stairs, I was able to get my walker (which my DH had brought upstairs) into the walk-in shower in the master bath, which was a good thing as I would not have been able to get over a tub side easily either.

Here's hoping you'll get in-home PT approved, and your recovery will proceed quickly from here!

Hugs!

stir crazy stir crazy stir crazy!!!!

I'm out of bed for 1hr 15 min every 2 hours (30 min knee machine, 15 min ice). Since I'm drug free, I'm wide awake. Going nuts.... AARRRGGGG!

15 min to go before next knee session.

And I bet people aren't posting enough here to keep you occupied, hmm? Funny how quickly you can reach the "end" of the internet when you're getting cabin fever!

Beth: I just saw these posts and did not know you just had knee surgery. I'm sure you will be glad when all the recovery stuff is over with! I'm sure it is a struggle all by yourself. Wish I were in the PNW, I'd come and help.

Take good care of yourself and it sounds like your supervisor and neighbors are being very nice. It is when these things come up in our lives, that we find out we really do have friends out there.

Hey Beth, sorry to hear about your accident and all. Hopefully you'll be up and at em in no time. Maybe I could use coming to help you as an excuse for a road trip!? Seriously though, hang in there and get better soon.

Saw my doc this morning and got the sutures removed. He said my knee looks good, and is stable. Is it a bad thing when he's smiling as he's writing you a different 'script for pain killers, saying "you'll need them"?

I have my first PT session this afternoon. Let the fun begin. Meanwhile, Allez Sport is standing in her trainer, mocking me. Still haven't actually tried clipping in. Achieved 90 degree bend with knee flex machine yesterday. I get to call and have that taken away.
