Well I am home from the hospital. The Dr said the surgury went really well. He also fixed some miniscus damage that I had. I have a big metal brace on and I am hooked up to a cooler that circulates cold ice water around my knee. I also have a tens unit as well. I am in pain but not alot the did a nerve block on me so my leg almost feels dead untill it wears off sometime tonight. I am happy that its over and im back home. Now the road to recovery.
Hobbyguy welcome to the club I will shoot you a PM if i have any questions. -
Good news.
Did they give you any drugs - those can be good. But, please stay away from the alcohol (even beer) when taking that potent stuff...you don't need to go celebrity actor on us. -
I hope your recovery goes smoothly.I refuse to argue with idiots, because people can't tell the DIFFERENCE!
-
Yes DRUGS are your friend right about NOW
Nice to see things went well, you'll be better then new soon.

Dave,, glad to hear that things went well,, take it easy and do what they tell ya'. Are you going to have to "rehab" the knee?JC approves....he told me so. (F-1 nut)

Good luck w/ the recovery- be careful with those percocets... they give a lot of people nausea, and you're not gonna win any races to the porcelain finish line

Break a leg!
Oh, I guess that's the wrong thing to say here, huh? Maybe your dog can hump your leg tonight and you'll feel better. Was that better?~ In search of accurate reproduction of music.

I remember falling from a ladder 6' breaking my elbow. Well shatted my elbow bone like a glass, in many pieces. The doctor said about 1 hour to put repair me, he opened my elbow it took him like 2.75 hours. I had 2 screws in my elbow to put it back. Talk about pain..... I loved anything that had a name of *set

Heal well and quick Dave. Prayers are with you."There's a lot of places driving up and down I-95 that smell like ****" F1Nut

Hopefully they provided you with a polar care (or similar cooling device), if not ask for one. Ice really improves swelling and for most it relieves pain. Orthopaedics is my hobby but it is also my profession. When you are well enough Dave let me know ...I am interested in purchasing 2 of your speaker wires 10'. They are to connect either LSI 15 or SDA-1B (not yet sure which set I am going to use) to a yamaha RX-V2700.
-
Sorry Dave....was up late fixing an elbow....meant speaker wire question for Ben.
-
Yes I have the polar care which I am liking. I am a little nauseas but not terrible. Rehab starts tomorrow morning
-
Sup Dave. Glad to hear all went well. Now I don't have drag your sorry butt around anymore!:p
You know I kid! I'm only a phone call away if you need anything, bud.

Had my first rehab today and got my first real look at my knee. I have 3 small incisions and its quite swollen which i expected. My main issue that im having is the percoset making me nauses and do not want to eat and when i do eat it all tastes like ****. i have another therapy session tomorrow morning. Its going to be a slow road to recovery.
Thanks to everyone here for all of the well wishes I really appreciate it. -
Dave, I think your recovery will be faster then you think, hang in there. If not in a lot of pain back off the drugs during the day to see if your appetite doesn't come back. I needed the must drugs at night so I could sleep.
