Wow....I am having my knee replacement surgery in the morning. I can't believe it's finally time. I did work today and since I was going to be home bound for a while Kev wanted to take me out to eat. After dinner we went home and then I decided I needed a haircut. I've been wanting one, but for some reason I had to get one tonight. The salon at the mall was open and a girl took me right away. I think I got 6 inches cut off. It feels great and is going to be way easier to deal with in the hospital and at home since I can't shower for a while.
After I got home from work and before we went to dinner, a guy came by to drop off and show me how to use my electric ice pump and CPM machine. (continual passive motion) The pump is a wrap that goes all the way around my leg, it is attached to an ice chest filled with ice and water. You turn the pump on and it pushes cold water into the wrap and automatically ices my knee. How cool is that?
The motion machine will be hooked up to my knee and just keep bending it. It starts at a certain angle and then through time at the hospital and at home the angle will get better and better. The guy that brought it over measured it for my leg and then showed me how to use it. I even got to test it out.
No eating or drinking for the rest of the night. Have to be at the hospital at 5 am for my 7am surgery.
