good morning david! you sound sooooo upbeat......that is wonderful and sooooo good for the healing process!!!
Phred gave us the email link on your "Three More Days" thread and told us all the important info we would need to fill out the cards. Phread is a sweetheart just like you :cool: We must take care of our own you know ;)
David, it is so good to hear that you are home already. Everything must have gone according to plan and no complications. Just think, no more worrying and anxiety about having this done. That part really has to feel good. Your physical therapy is an important part of the process and cooperating with that to the extent it is prescribed will be essential, so no flaking off! Don't hesitate to ask questions or relay your concerns, should you have any, to your doctor.
May each day find you with a little less pain and a bit more mobility. Don't get discouraged if it doesn't happen as quickly as you want it to. It will happen. In the mean time, if you want to whine and complain, have at it! We are hear to listen and sympathize.
Rachel, this is the perfect place to whine and complain!Quote:

David, you must be doing pretty well, you have been all over the board this morning!
Wasn't that a great idea Phred had about sending you cards? I was the one that sent you a Congratulations on the Baby boy. I figured it must feel like you have given birth - to a new knee!!
All of us wanted you to know that we cared and were worried about you.
If you don't have a good day, come here and tell us about it, because we will understand.
Gini, I'm stiff and sore and anything elseQuote:

you can think of, but getting back on PT is great therapy. Gini, I didn't think I could give birth to ANYTHING! My son, the new knee!
:D Besides, a grown man walking into a hospital carrying a stuffed monkey may have gotten you admitted to the psych ward!!!!:DQuote:

David,
You say your PT starts next week. What days and what time. You certainly don't us calling you when you're doing your "floor exercises". :D :D That's something you just don't "kneed".
LOL!!!!! :D :D :DQuote:

psst: only 8 to go....

Welcome back, David!
Now, be good and do your physical therapy. It would help a lot if you keep using ice, and your scar will heal better if, in a couple of weeks, you rub some Vitamin E on it.
Didn't they give you that infernal machine that helps you bend the leg a little at the time and you have to use several times a day?
Best wishes for a quick recovery from your fellow bionic PTalker
Wow David, I can't believe how fast you made it back to us.
Great to have you back and to hear that all went well.
The first couple of weeks are the hardest and from then on it's clear sailing all the way.
Be good and try not to push yourself too hard.:)
Albea, for me right now there is NO running to the bathroom! Shuffling to there, but no running! I use a walker to get around the house, bu it's slow going.Albea, I'm basically worn out from all they did to me!Quote:

By the way, I started you a pillar thread! You are close enough in my opinion!:D
Connie, right now I don't feel so pillarish!! But I guess I'm pretty close.Quote:

Welcome back David! Hope the knee has you up and dancing at the cyber bar (on it of course) real soon. Mario demands the first dance you know! :D Glad you're home with your girls, and I'll bet they missed you. :)
:o :o Oops, missed this thread at first and just sent another email to your hospital room!
Bet the email coordinator will be glad to quit running cards to you...
Be good and heal up fast. No tripping over cats, though.
(The card: Cassy ate a rose yesterday and dedicated it to you.)
QSA, I don't think the girls are sure of the situation yet! They run when I move the walker and it's so new to them. (It's so new to me, too) But I think that day by day I will get better and better!Quote:
