No morphine drip or catheter this time... Experimented with a few pain meds till we found a good cocktail.. funny how nurses have different outlooks on them. Last night my nurse went out of her way trying to ease the pain. The nurse today acts like I don't need them and has made me wait almost an hour after requesting them... Then had to come interview me before she went to get them... Asked her to change my bandages cause they were leaking last night... She thought they'd be ok till tomorrow.. I insisted and she finally agreed.. prolly won't get anymore pain meds from her now... Mellow



Dannnnng...no morphine...the agony...I remember when they turned off the morphine drip and put me on the oxycodone...major pain until the oxy kicked in...

That's not a real nurse, 5 star hospitals should have better...file a complaint, but after you're outta there...

With the increased government scrutiny on narcotic use, most surgeries are no longer approved for PCA use. There's also increased scrutiny on inpatient oral narcotics, we have to justify their use over non narcotic with every dose given.

Also many surgeons prefer bandages not changed except by the surgeon or their partner.

What's your Sybian going to do for your knee?

On second thought, I don't want to know.

Glad to hear things are working out.

ThumpUp

Had rotator cuff surgery a few years ago. The physical therapy afterwards was a key component of getting my range of motion back.

Did the surgery in the morning and went back to the hotel in Hono the same night. It was a surreal scene. I was still kind of out of it, and I was sitting outside the hospital with a big bandage on my shoulder and my shirt just draped over... waiting on a cab. They gave me oxycodone, as I recall. Not long after I took it back at the hotel, I started hearing voices in the dark. Didn't sleep that night. And didn't take anymore. :-)

No more running, football, baseball, basketball, tennis, racquetball, soccer or any other activity that involves potential physical contact, running, jumping, sudden stops and starts and change of direction...puts too much stress on the artificial joint and its attachment to the bones... lotsa walking, hiking, cycling, swimming, fishing, hunting are good...

Primary benefits for having the knee replaced are pain relief, sleep w/o pain, reduction in the amount of nsaids consumed which helps keep the liver and kidneys healthy, and the ability to do non-contact activities that were impossible or too painful with the bad knee...

Good well soon Drafter...

Thanks man... I'm not sure about replacing the other one.. I didn't expect it to hurt this bad... Maybe in 6 months I'll forget and do it anyways... Mellow

I've had em both done about 2 years apart........it hurts like hell,but it hurt most of the day every day before you did it,right?Just think,,,,,,in a month or two the pain will be gone and it won't hurt all the time.......I tell everyone I know who needs it to get it done,and work hard at the rehab. I'm willing to bet in two months you'll be glad you did it.
I really think the worst part was the opioid induced constipation......it was probably a week(4-5 days) after surgery before my plumbing started working again.........then it was like shooting B-Bs out my ass for 3 or 4 days.Anxious

Glad you are on the mend. Work your new joint as hard as you can. You will thank yourself five years down the road.

Seemed to have overlooked this thread. Wish you well Drafter and the following may help with some insight on your journey if this is your first knee replacement.

http://www.cigarbid.com/.../Knee-Replacement-Diary

You will probably have some swelling for at least six months and it will be around the 12 month mark before the new knee feels like it belongs to your body. Rehab is the key to a fast and full recovery.

And lay off the old joint for awhile. Angel
