hoping that scale read right when I first tried to weigh in it gave me a error reading and then 0.00 then after stepping onto it 2 more times it finally came up 280.0 I was feeling better yesterday with little pain after 4pm but from 8am-2pm I didn't have really any pain and felt good Praise God for it and I was taking the hydrocodone 5mg 2 at time from 11pm Wednesday night to 5am Thurs morning and it really helped me better than just 1 of the 5mg , after laying down at 3pm it started hurting and I took a pain med with ibuprofen and iced it and prayed to God to take the pain away which he did..Thank God I wouldn't know what to do with out him he's had his hands on me since surgery day. Actually slept about 3hr last night more than I got the night before... still on a waler I've heard ppl say they only had to be on a walker 3 days a d then that was it. Well not me I can put pressure on the knee and walk on it but still must put my weight on the walker it doesn't feel like it is strong enough to support me yet.my physical therapy guy said I'm doing great he will be back Sat and said he would have me off the walker in 2 weeks and on a cane but don't try it with out the walker as it could buckle my knee and putme in the floor and crush the knee replacement so I'm not gonna try walking around on my own until I feel secure and stable enough to do so and that 2 weeks has been here! I don't want to do anything to mess it up.
Just keep me in your prayers and thoughts for pain relief and speedy recovery and healing to continue...
have a great day everyone!!!!It's Friday and have a great weekend.....

will have to weigh in again tomm just to make sure the weight is right as the scale didn't want to read at first and gave me a error and then 0.00 so after stepping into it again it finally read 280.0 Praise God I hope it's correct also I seem to have been using the restroom to more after surgery so that could have helped me get some of the bloating back off from way too much sodium intake the week before surgery.

Did you get the refill on the pain meds you requested? I feels bad that you have been experiencing so much pain. I have heard that about knee replacement surgery so am happy that the 2nd orthopedist I saw told mecit is necessary for me at this time.

You're in my prayers for sure! My husband had knee surgery a few years ago and it was a lot of therapy but he was a trooper and did great👍

My mother had both of hers done on the same day in her late 70's, she recovered very well, but stressed to keep after that PT (she adhered to the letter of it)! Friends of hers that did not struggled a lot more and one in particular has a odd walk now, where things seized and didn't heal the way it was supposed to. Stay diligent, you've got this!

You are living the dream! So sorry it starts out feeling like a nightmare. But to think you are so close to the day you walk without pain is exciting. Proud of your bravery and fortitude. Push on thru to do everything the medical professionals tell you. My sister said the more she moved in recovery the better her recovery seemed to go. Adding my prayers for your recovery. 🙏

Frizzy 22 no he didn't end up calling me in a refill yesterday but I have been doing very good since Thurs morning with minimal pain and I decreased the hydrocodone 5mg and am taking more ibuprofen and Tylenol in order to make the ones I do have left last until about Sunday at least dr said first week is the worst but for me the absolute worst part from Tues around 3pm when I had trouble getting outta the recliner and it shot a bad bad pain in my knee after taking several doses of 2 of the 5mg it went way down by Thursday morning at 8am ,from 8am-2pm I had no pain All Glory to God for keeping me outta bad pain and for helping me get thru he will always have his hands on me and I have absolute faith in him. Physical therapy guy said I'm doing excellent and I'm trying to do as much as possible and I could have also overworked it on Tues a d Wed and yo slow down a little bit and rest it in between and I'm doing that it's made a big difference with Jesus on my side I will have a great successful speedy recovery...No bruising,no swelling,no infection or no blood clots THANK GOD FOR ALL THAT HES DOING EVERYTHING I ASKED AND PRAYED FOR HIM TO DO....
