Morning all,
Just a quick note on how it went yesterday. Had to be at the hospital at 9:00. They got me in about 10:15. The worst thing about the start was not knowing for sure thy would do it until the surgeon inspected the infection. So there was a pretty fair chance that they would pull the plug at the last second. Anyway the surgery took about an hour. They cut two fairly big tares and a handful of little ones.
Some pain but handled it the first night. Been taking the pain meds and following doing some rehab instructions. I think that I'll be using just a cane by tomorrow ( instead of crutches).

Thanks for your support, it really is making it more tolerable!

Glad you are doing well after your big day. Thanks for filling us in. Take care of yourself. Now I'm starting to get nervous for my surgery. It's coming up pretty quickly.

Morning Idajoy,

Don't blame you for being nervous but you will be fine! I was pretty wound up the few days myself.

Thanks for letting us know it all went well. Behave yourself and take your meds when you should. Don't try to tough out the pain.

So glad everything went well and the infection didn't make them postpone that would've been a bummer. Pain meds and doing recovery exercises are so important with knee surgeries. Talking from experience I've had 3. Prayers for continued healing and low pain. Don't try to overdue it to soon.

Glad your surgery went well. Don't push yourself too hard. My experience with surgeries and fibro is the pain is more intense and lasts longer and the recovery takes longer than a person without fibro.

A friend of mine got this cool motorized device that continually bent and unbent her leg. She still had other exercises, but this thing was a Godsend.

Good luck going forward. I'm glad the pain is tolerable.
