Guest guest Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 Great for you Pam, I hope starts doing better, it seems she is having a very hard time, I hope it gets easier for her, I only had some restriction for about 5 days, or at least I wasn't hungry the first 5 or 6 days, now I have to go on will power to get me through this first 6 weeks, and it is kinda tough that is why I won't weigh.

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 yes, it was everything you said.....Everyone was wonderful and so caring. I had a very hard time waking up from the anesthesia (has also happened in my past in the US) and keeping from vomiting but I made it. By day 2 I was 1000% better and improving daily.

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 I was prescribed to continue with ice aound the clock when in bed and the CPM Machine for 6 hrs per day for my entire first 3 weeks at home. Worked out well for me. It is amazing how true it is that they say at first in a typical recovery we will see ourselves improve greatly from day to day then it supposedly changes to from week to week and finally it is said to be a matter of month to month progression. I hope I am lucky and still in the week to week improvement part being now at approx 6 weeks. L > > had surgery Tuesday and came home Friday. Had a pretty easy time. Got to my room at 6 p.m. ad the PT was there at 6:05. I'm in a continuous passove motion machine because my leg was fused for so long. my myscles have atrophied. By Thurs by muscles were screaming from the exeercise. but the incision and prosthetic has been surprisngly pain free/ but i've got to get of the hydrocone. i just sleep all day. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
