Now, that the Wife’s knee is healing better, I’m able to get “out there” more & more. No longer does she need constant help to walk or do things around the house. The 7″ incision in her right knee is looking better all the time. By the end of this month she should be back walking like nothing happened.
The is a bit of sacrafice to be made when you have surgery like she did. She will never be able to just get up and run. Nor will she be able to bend down using her legs. It is much better than having the pain & discomfort like before. She still has to sit with her leg elevated with ice cubes in a plastic bag to keep down the swelling, even though alot of the edema is gone.
If anyone out there is going to have this type of surgery, I give you fair warning. It’s no fun the 1st 2 weeks! There will be much discomfort, but pain med’s will help out. Pain med’s are not the cure all. They just keep what was done under control.
Thanks for stopping by.
