Well I had the knee replacement done last Wednesday. I had the surgery in the middle of the afternoon and by that night I felt ok. I was able to walk down a long hallway with a walker, probably around 1000 ft or so and then had some oxycodone and morphine but felt decent. They released me the next day and I got home and felt ok. Then like someone turned a switch, it went to pure hell. The nerve block quit and I ended up with a reaction to the medication and couldn't keep anything in me. The pain was the worst I ever encountered and I thought I would end up back in the hospital. By Monday I was doing better. Only taking Tylenol and Motrin now and starting to come around now and starting to feel like I will live through this. I'm not sure what my future bike riding will be but I think right now it will be some time before I am able to try it. I have a stationary bike that I will start to use in about a month according to the nurse and therapist that have been coming to the house. It's kinda depressing thinking like this but I'm sure I'm not the only one who has gone through this. Not here to complain because I know some people have it much worse than me but it's pretty hard when it's happening to me right now. Hopefully in a couple days I will be better than today and better a few days after that. Been reading a lot so that is helping. Hope all of you are doing well. Talk soon, boomer.
