Good luck on your surgery as well. I'll slip into nurse mode now.

I managed an orthopedic floor for a couple of years. So take my advice.

If it hurts you will be reluctant to move it, so take your pain medication. Getting a knee mobile soon after surgery is important to getting full function back. Be diligent with your physical therapy.

I just chucked my nurses cap.

You go on my list of Freepers on my prayer list.

Thanks nurse Tas...I will take your advice. Fortunately, I've learned to be pretty tough...I still have had a hard time deciding on this surgery. See, pain meds do not work on me. I am very medication resistant. Shots such as Novocaine do not work either. I thank God for them being able to knock me out! :) I also hate just sitting around and having everyone waiting on me...plus I will have to be able to take care of my doggies. ;) All good incentives to recover as fast as possible.

I almost forgot the most important of all!!! Thank you so much for the prayers...They will be the best medicine of all. :)
