So basically today is my 7 day post-op and I am hurting. That's on one hand. On the other, did you read that I am up to 0-105 on my CPM machine? Started at 0-70 just 7 days ago, that's good :) Getting around somewhat better, that's good too :) and you know my PT says I'm doing phenomenal. Another good thing. I just need to keep looking at the good stuff. So what....I'm hurting today. There's going to be days like this. Tomorrow's another day :)
One Week Since Surgery 7/30/2014
Hard to believe it's been a week already since I've had my TKR. ( that's medical talk for total knee replacement) Am I glad I did it? Yes, of course I am. Only I want it to be 6 months from now. Since Monday I have been in a little bit of a funk. I feel good, I feel like I am making good progress, I am doing more and more exercises, I can run my CPM at 105, and I seem to be getting around (the bedroom, bathroom, family room) a lot better. BUT, you knew there would be a but, I feel like I should be doing more. And like I said Monday I think I am actually being too hard on myself. I am hurting today. Pretty much all day. Not sure if it's the addition of more new exercises, if it's from the way the new exercises hurt, or that I am trying to do too much cause I do overall feel good. Once again.... It's been a whole week from my surgery and i don't know why but I feel like I should be fixed. Where is this impatience coming from? I'm just really struggling with that.
