I feel my progress is going well. I am at 0 bil with extension. For flexion ,my right knee is 124 and my left is 126. I rarely take a Tramadol, and take Aleve 2 times daily.
Besides for sleeping, my other problem seems to be that I cry a lot. I have no appetite..and have lost 13 # since being home. I know I need to get out of the house more..but due to our horrible winter weather...I still have home PT. ( starting output next week). I am a nurse, and a people person. I still have 5 weeks before I am to return to work 1/2 days. I got out this weekend both days..but hurt today..so back to ice packs and my recliner:(
Any advice from other who have been here would be greatly appreciated! ESP on how to get thru the emotional part of this.
Thanks!View Thread

. I am a side sleeper, and even with a soft pillow between knees, it is unbearable. 3. I have periods almost daily where I break down and just cry. I question my decision to do this surgery at all esp both at once. (I know I will be glad later) I just feel I am not doing as well as I should be. When does all this get better? Thanks for any advice you have. SandiView Thread
