Kipper if you keep your knee elevated that might help. An ice-cold beer or a pint of ice cream can double as something cold to keep on your knee to reduce swelling.
navi_jen I'm so glad everything went well. The same advice could go for you too... you've certainly earned it!

Pumpkin is staying with the sitter, but I've been promised puppy home care 2x a day until Killer returns home.
Thanks for the well wishes. I still owe you a response to your PM. Will get it this week or next. Plenty of free time on my hands (lol).

Thank you GW. Looking forward to being off for the month. I'm taking it NICE and slow on the road to recovery. Surprisingly, I can start PT on Monday, super happy about that.
Had a very decent nice sleep in my comfy recliner. 90 minutes snooze, 30/60 minutes awake. Having a night nurse made ALL the difference.
Now, just hanging around, awaiting the arrival of the Great Pumpkin and more happy pills at noon.

I'm a big frozen peas fan for icing...though the reward of eating peas is not nearly as much fun as ice cream or beer.

It is so beautiful here today! While I was waiting for my grandmother at the doctor I sat in the car with the windows rolled down and the sunroof open! I hope it stays like this a little while longer.

Surgery went well today. Only had to replace the ACL. Said they did not repair the miniscus. but rather just 'clead up some staff'. Need to know more bout the meniscus during next week's followup.
Home and comforted on my new leather recliner. Super comfy. Pain well managed and my night nurse is fabulous. Not looking forward to tomorrow/today only because the nerve blocker will wear off.
Kipper sorry to hear you are in pain. Have you considering dialing back for a few weeks?

Yep. I can take a shower day 4. Very much looking forward to it They gave me a Scopamine patch for nausea during surgery, and it dried out my throat something awful. And the nerve block is definitely starting to wear off. Throbbing, but bearable pain. Next arrival of the happy pills at noon.

They gave me a scopolamine patch for nausea. 2nd on the list of reactions is dry throat. My throat has definitely started to return to normal once I removed the patch. Who knows

Stuck in DFW airport. My original flight was cancelled. Somehow, a phone agent confirmed me on the next flight (actually an earlier flight but it's still at the gate). My co-worker is #40 on the standby list. We have pilots but are waiting for FAs. The gate next to us has FAs and is waiting for pilots. Seems like they could at least get one of these flights out of here.
