Gratitude Monday: on the road to recovery

My gratitude today is that the second total knee replacement surgery went well. Seemed to me like I did better this time than in January. By which I mean far less pain. Maybe they used smaller hammers this time?

They kept me in hospital overnight. When the surgeon saw me Friday morning he commented that maybe I could have gone home the night before, but considering all the antibiotics they pushed through the IV, I’m okay with that.

Interestingly, the joint has got stiffer since that first day—much harder to bend. But I get around fine on the walker. I’m off to physical therapy today to start the rehab process and I’m looking forward to getting through this and getting to two working, pain-free knees.
