Message: [QUOTE="Hans Sprungfeld, post: 2245690, member: 181"] Lady H is two weeks out of successful total knee replacement surgery. No blood clots, no infections, wound looks good, physical therapy proceeding. On the downside, three extra nights in the hospital for low blood pressure, a recommended trip to the ER 5 days later to address blood pressure & heartbeat concerns, a first visit to the cardiologist with a trip to OrthoFast directly afterward where crippling muscle spasms added to the pain mix. I'm off to return the Holter monitor to the cardiology office now, and figured it's time, as lead care giver, to reach out to the crack Boneyard medical team for anecdotes, perspective, tips, hacks, and the usual mayhem. Who's been there, receiving & recuperating, or holding down the fort and multitasking for two? Good network of friends & family nearby, and otherwise healthily functioning patient going in, someone who likes to stay busy and feels it's just wrong to lie around, even when she's on muscle relaxant & pain medication and can't keep her eyes open.
