Highland Center, in Southeast Iowa

Ron swIA - 2/16/2023 00:49 I had knee replacement surgery 10 days ago. Went into surgery about 8am was sent to recovery about 9:30. Was in my room before noon. About 1:30 they walked me down the hall. Had PT on Tuesday morning and sent home before noon. About 2:30 AM Wednesday morning the spinal block wore off. Holy sh-t did it hurt. I took 2 hydrocodone pills every 6 HR for pain. On Saturday I cut back to 1 hydrocodone every 6 hr. Been staying in my recliner since surgery. Every time I would get up I would walk about 200 ft. I have an ice machine that circulates cold water through a pad on my knee. Have a VenaGo on each leg to prevent blood clots. I had PT on Monday and yesterday, also had bandage removed. Yesterday I switched to 2 arthritis acetaminophen every 8 hr.seems to keep the pain controlled with out the narcotics


Glad you're progressing, Ron. It ain't easy, gettin' old! Take good care of yourself, and do all the therapy they tell ya to.
