In Surgery

[Cammalu]

Queen thanks. That looks like it will work really well and I ordered it. Will be here by the 6th.

John bought a couple of freezer packs at Walmart yesterday and they should be ready for me to start icing today.

My surgeon is great. He’s the one that gets all the patients that other doctors have messed up. People come from all over for him and he keeps a waiting list.

I already have full range of motion which is unheard of as my surgery was 4 days ago. I just have to work thru this ugly pain and swelling and build muscle. He had to cut tendons and muscle for repairs so it wasn’t just a regular replacement and these things take time to heal.

Yesterday I managed to get in the car to go to PT. It’s only a few miles but less than halfway there I was yelling in pain. Felt like my leg was going to blow up. John dropped me at PT and as soon as I could get on a table and get the leg up the pain started decreasing. He went back to the house and brought the RV to retrieve me.

Since I guess I’ll be riding in the RV for a while unless we can work out something to get my leg up in the car we have to replace the generator. It’s just way too hot.

Unfortunately we don’t have the info on the old one that we tossed so it’s going to be tricky.

Pain meds dope me up but I don’t really think they do much for pain.

Scott, I have some mint growing at the pond... I don’t think I can gag down vodka however. Margaritas would be ok though!
