    My knee update...and pics...

    Well... It's been a week since my knee surgery... I went to the doctor yesterday, and he took off the huge fat bandage I was using. I was a bit scared, because I didn't know how my knee would look like (the doctor had told me that it would be a bit deformed and swollen ) But to my surprise (and the doctor's surprise) it looks really beautiful! It only has 3 little scars...

    Now, the most important thing is to start walking and moving the leg. I'm still using a bandage, because my knee is not strong enough yet, and it's hard to walk (after a week without moving my leg at all, it's hard to start moving it again) but the good thing is that I don't need to use those horrible crutches again...

    One day (when I couldn't walk) I was so bored, that I decide to take pics of my leg with my cell phone... (my knee was huge on that moment)





    On Christmas eve, with my crutches... (my knee was smaller that day...)





    And yesterday, with the best nurse I could ever have... (I didn't have the huge bandage anymore...)

    Anita, the dachshund, 7 years old

    Wow, that was huge. I am glad to hear that the knee looked better than anyone expected. Just take it easy until it gets strong again. And yes, I am sure that Anita will be happy to help nurse your knee back to health.

    Hi, Natali how well I know the feeling of a huge bandage on my knee! My bandage was that big after my knee replacement.You're not going to believe this, but about an hour after my surgery they had me trying or attempting to walk! After a while I was using a walker and pretty soon a cane and now I seem to forget I have an artifical knee! So, Natali hang in there and and make sure your nurse Anita sees to your every whim! {{{{HUGS}}}}
