Guest guest Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 Just had to post a couple of good things..... First, I went for my 4 week post-op TKR check up yesterday. Got an awesome report from my doc. I was kinda worried cause of my bend, rememnber my new PT said I was only at 70 on Tuesday? Well yesterday at the office I got to 90. They had me walk down the hall without my cane, but I will still need to use for a while if walking in grocery stores or long periods of time. My scar is looking great, but still not completely free of scabing. Guess I heal a bit slower. Swelling is still BIG TIME, bit I know that takes many months. I'm starting to feel a bit more clearer minded, and foods are tasing more normal, so maybe the anesthesia from the surgery is finally earing off. Anyway, I go back in 4 months to see him. Second thing...I actually slept for 7 HOURS, yep 7 hours last night. First time that long since I've been home. Usually only 2-3 hours. I did take the Ambien, but that's the first time it actually let me sleep that long. I think I'm so relieved too with my new PT that I actually am feeling less stress so am able to relax. Maybe now with sleep and a better PT I can actually catch up on my therapy. He even shows up on time too....LOL. Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
