Hello everyone,
I looked at this site prior to my surgery and 2 days later, I am stuck in my bed in the greatest pain of my life.
If you do not have a caretaker of any kind, i would suggest you get one.
After the surgery, the nurses drugged me up too much so i vomited, although there was nothing there =).
My aunt and cousin is a big help, since both my parents are working.
This is day 2 and i take my NORCO (viovodin double strength) twice a day.
I havent been able to have a bowel movement yet which is a concern of mine, so i am going to take some natural laxative (Psyllium Husk).
My cousin has started me on early PT by bending my leg to 90 degrees and back, 2 times a day.
I am stuck to my bed 24 hours a day, and its not fun at all.
I have a Tv, and internet, and loving friends and family so i think im going to be alright.
Good luck to all, and i will keep everyone updated so they can see how recovery really is.
