I got discharged last night, had paperwork to sign, meds delivered, and made it home by 10 and was asleep before 11.
I iced knee, took meds, slept good put pain from tossing and turning woke me a few times. I walked to bathroom to pee this morning and it hurt, as it should, but not like I remember before. I'm keeping the knee elevated to minimise swelling but even that hurts for awhile. I took meds and will take rest when I get organized and up. I also did all the exercises and the heel slide went well as can be expected. The heel slide is not as bad as before and could do his minimum with no problem and little pain. He doesn't want that overdone as to not break the sutures. He doesn't use staples, but dissolvable sutures. When I go back in 2 weeks I'll get steri strips. I'll lay here for awhile, try to organize, then go down for coffee and walk around the house with walker. I'll take a shower tonight when the mrs gets home. BTW, he said once I'm going well with knee we will address the hips and get x-rays.
