The Hardest Thing About Knee Replacement

dav1965
To me waking up in the middle of the night and having to pee. I would be going like hell was after me.

I have double doors going into the bathroom and i would hit the other door with my walker and wake my wife up.

Being barely able to walk was hard on moving fast. LOL

    Try having Knee replacement with a bonus incurable Staff infection ! Twice in a row so Same type of staff likely meaning I went 4 months without a knee and they couldn't kill the infection between implants.

    They won't do a third so that puts you in a wheel chair. The walker will go away - wheel chair in my case is permanent. What's left of my leg is temporary, but I am struggling to keep it as long as I can.

    I wish you a speedy recovery and no complications. I know you have had more than your share of trouble. I was lucky enough to beat cancer , and am still here after 7 heart attacks, 5 bypasses, 5 stents, and enough other issues to put me in constant crippling pain. I know you, Mike, and others have enough on their plate.

    I thought the consequences of the opioids was by far the worst.[xx(]

    Only when you have run out or have to give them up because some junkie uses them for recreation - then hell gets even hotter.

    3 months recovery @ 3 times a week @ 1 hour per visit
    pain meds do me no good. I asked a doctor to please give me something for pain and I was told he couldn't give me any more that I already had enough to put a horse down

    Well no, it was the opioid induced constipation I was referring to. Even eating the laxatives like candy.
