Here are a few post-surgery thoughts, not in any particular order:
— It’s amazing what modern surgical techniques can do. Remove part of a cadaver, insert it into someone else’s knee, and send them home that day. It’s a huge blessing to live in a time and place that this is available.
— Versed is an amazing drug. They shot me with it before wheeling me away to surgery. That was my last memory before waking up in recovery. Liquid amnesia that’s instantaneous and complete.
— My recovery is going very well thanks, I’m convinced, to so many people praying for me.
— CPM machines are the best!
— Polar care units are the best too!
— I have felt up-and-down over the last couple days, but usually I’m up.
— There are people in our church family who are going through very, very difficult medical issues (including cancer), and I’m not one of them. They need our prayers.
Good to hear a response from you…I was beginning to wonder!! Sounds like all is well…great that you have a CPM…what is the ROM at? When does therapy start? And by the way, Felicia forgot to mention the outstanding HOME CARE therapist she had!! Have you been jogging yet..ha! ha! Blessings..
Kelly, thanks for the comment. I just really didn’t feel up to commenting on the blog the last couple days (still shaking it off). 🙂
I had therapy twice this week (Wed & Thu). I’ll give a detailed update on that tomorrow.
On the CPM, I started Tuesday from 0 to 50 degrees, Wednesday from 0 to 60, and today did 0 to 70. (I’m allowed an increase of 10 degrees a day up to 90). The CPM has been a HUGE blessing I believe.
