No pain, naproxen seems to be doing the trick. Only got to get constipation sorted....hate the cocodemols.
Well, hubby out all day at a model boating event. I promised faithfully not to leave my crutch behind when I walked around the house or went upstairs.
I have been very good, took the crutch with me at all times.....not saying the crutch touched the floor but I did take it.
Made dinner, put chicken breasts in the slow cooker with diced pots, sliced celery, kidney and broad beans. Sorted my cauli/brocc/mushroom/pepper/toms and cheese ready for grilling, hubby doesn't like those vegs so its all mine. Will last a couple of days and can always freeze portions as well. I am T2 diabetic so have to watch my carbs...
Spent most of the day browsing, pinterest and FB as well as all my groups, sent emails so I am improving as sitting at the computer desk is now easy and comfortable.
Slowly, slowly does it after all only 5 weeks post op on this knee replacement.
Not done finger pricking tests for a few days, medication been up and down and the hospital only checked it twice in 5 days..... day of admittance and leaving! Told me not to worry. So I won't. Too many other things to get uptight about and I was averaging 6.5 for my bloods before op, get tested next week for everything, so fingers crossed. Although the last month has messed up the blood tests because they take in the last 12 weeks...might have to have a word with the diabetic nurse to let me have an extention.

I was also given water tabs for a week, and then have to have a blood test for kidneys... in case the water tabs have damaged them. Doc didn't really want to give me them but saw how bad both my legs were. Got to eat a banana every day to replace the potasium.

Sleep is a wonderful thing now as can manage at least 4 - 5h before waking up to either get up for a pee or turn over and rearrange the pillows.
Husband still in spare room (bliss have the whole bed)
Still taking things easy but exercising every day with stretches bends and walking

I want to try and do stretch bends but physio not told me to yet...should I wait? I am looking at the chart the hospital gave me.
Just sat down normally at the computer without letting my right leg stay straight until sitting... another hurdle over.

Go with what the experts advise re exercise as we are all different - I can't sit at a table for very long as I get uncomfortable so waiting to tick that box.

I still use a stick so when sitting at the table I shove stick under leg and balance my leg as straight as I can for as long as I can (long enough for the main course) then have a wander and a fidgit lol
