2ND TKR THIS YEAR AND FEEL BETTER THAN BEFORE

[Guest guest]

I JUST GOT HOME FROM THE HOSPTIAL YESTERDAY AND I FEEL " GREAT "

COMPARED TO WHAT I WENT THRU IN JANUARY OF THIS YEAR WITH MY LEFT

KNEE REPLACEMENT. I HURT FOR MONTHS AND WAS MISERABLE. THIS WEEK I

WENT FOR THE RIGHT KNEE AND I FEEL NO PAIN WHAT SO EVER. THE SURGEON

DID THE SAME SURGERY BUT LITTLE DIFFERENT PROCEDURE. I WAS AWAKE THRU

THE WHOLE THING. YES I HEARD THE SAWS AND THE HAMMERING OF THE JOINT

BUT OF COARSE DIDNT FEEL ANYTHING. THEY HAD COUNTRY AND WESTERN MUSIC

PLAYING AND I HAD NO HEAVY MEDICATIONS LIKE BEFORE. NO MORPHINE AND

WHEN I GOT TO RECOVERY I FELT GREAT! I STAYED 3DAYS CAME HOME AND

WALKED WITH NO PAIN AND NEVER HAD TO TAKE A PAIN PILL WHEN I WENT TO

BED. OHH I CAN'T BELIEVE THE DIFFERENCE I HAD BECAUSE THE FIRST

OPERATION JUST DIDN'T SEEM TO GO LIKE I THOUGHT AND SUFFERED WITH

ALOT OF PAIN. I'AM SO EXCITED THAT THIS OPERATION WENT SO MUCH

BETTER!!! JUST HOPE THE WEEKS TO COME WILL REMAIN GOOD. THERPHY

STARTS SOON... THE DR TOLD ME THEY FOUND THIS PROCEDURE WORKING

BETTER HAVEING THE PATIENTS NOT SO DOPED UP AND UP AND WALKING RIGHT

AWAY.

Glad it went so well. Was the anesthetic the only difference? What

did the surgeon call this procedure?

> Carolyn,

I'am not sure why he changed his procedure from 10months ago..but I

haven't taken any pain pills and I'am not really useing my walker,

and my surgery was tuesday Nov 2nd! I did a No-no..but had to drive

this morning and had no problem. Just took it slow getting in and out

of the car. I've been cleaning my house.. sweeping the floors, doing

laundry and a burst of engery. I think I'am so exicited that Iam

finally Pain free I don't know how to act! I sit down and rest and I

do my exercises while I'am watching TV. But I'am just so excited

over this last surgery I can't explain it. My first TKR didnt seem to

heal so fast took me over 10months and two different Phyiscal therphy

to get over the discomfort I was haveing.
