surgery

I had my Knee Surgery on Tuesday the 2nd and it went fine. Leg is still sore around the knee area, which is normal, also the swelling has increased, he said it's b/c of the cleaning out and all the scraping and it should be gone in a couple of weeks. I a;so should be able to get back to my normal self. My exercises start Friday and I am not relly looking forward to them, but they have to be done. I am exited though of the possibilities that I'll be able to Hike again, especially  when the spring gets here. I have to stay off Enbrel until my Knee is fully healed, but right now I am in no  pain. I think the  Intravenous Antibiotics I got helped. I am also on Vicodine about every 4-6 hrs. So that helps also. I received alot of Iv Meds and until they fully leave my system it's hard to tell what I will be going through as far as pain. I just stay positive. My Dr. did tell me that I had alot of infection and fluid in there and that alot of it contributed from the RA meds., but what am I to do. I have to take them. So I will just take one day at a time and see what the future holds.
