Post-op Day 1

Most of the surgical meds are out of my system now. Thinking a lot clearer, but I feel like crap. Been taking the vicodin since about 10:00pm last night. Sometime around 2:00am or so, the local anesthetic wore off that had been used on my knee. Pain started ramping up at that point. Hurts more on the medial side. I wonder what the surgeon found over there. When I left the hospital, pain was about 2-3. Today... 6-7, with occasional spikes higher.

Never got an answer about putting weight on my foot or not, so I am non-weight bearing until I hear from the surgeon.

Today is definitely a kick-back and take the meds day.

I am so appreciative of my friends that got me over to the surgery center, and got me home after. Not sure what I said on the way home... I remember a traffic issue on the way home, perhaps an accident (not that we were involved in). Thank you, Steve, Donald, and Penny!
