My Left Knee Replacement: Early Start on Game Day
http://hennesseytkr2.blogspot.com/2012/10/early-start-on-game-day.html
My Left Knee Replacement. Thursday, October 11, 2012. Early Start on Game Day. I should have simply stayed up last night instead of attempting to sleep. I was wired after a busy day that included a lot of diet coke guzzled at lunch and finally gave up at about 3:45 am The cat was not happy to be disturbed so early in the day. I'm looking forward to leaving for the hospital! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The Original Right TKR. University of Minnesota Orthopaedics. View my complete profile.

My Left Knee Replacement: January 2013
http://hennesseytkr2.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
My Left Knee Replacement. Saturday, January 12, 2013. January 2013: The End. I didn't have much to post throughout my recovery. Major milestone: election day, November 6, two days short of my 4-week anniversary. I stood in line for at least 20 minutes and went out to lunch with friends. I felt good and quite strong.

My Left Knee Replacement: Walking without Crutches
http://hennesseytkr2.blogspot.com/2012/10/walking-without-crutches.html
My Left Knee Replacement. Saturday, October 13, 2012. Went to bed at shortly after 10:30 and I think I would have slept all night despite being wakened from a very sound sleep at midtnight and 3:00 am I can't remember the last time I slept so well. I got up at 6:30, detached myself from the portable ice machine and walked a few feet to grab my crutches. I feel terrific. The physical therapist and the nurses expect me to be discharged today, not tomorrow - a day early. We'll see what happens.

My Left Knee Replacement: Gap Between 2010 and 2012
http://hennesseytkr2.blogspot.com/2012/10/gap-between-2010-and-2012.html
My Left Knee Replacement. Saturday, October 13, 2012. Gap Between 2010 and 2012. Bob's daughter, Sonia Muñoz, visited this morning while I was doing my physical therapy. She remembered that I was "out of it" the last time I had surgery. I remember that visit and, in fact, I told everyone last week that I would probably not have the mental faculties to appreciate visitors while in the hospital. For two hours at a time, whereas in 2010 I couldn't stand using it at all. Some of the changes I know about:.

My Left Knee Replacement: Made it!
http://hennesseytkr2.blogspot.com/2012/10/made-it.html
My Left Knee Replacement. Thursday, October 11, 2012. I first became aware of the time around 5:45 and felt a little disoriented; I was dreaming about work, I think, dealing with yesterday's very interesting problems, or at least that seems to be my memory. The two nurses, Kirk (? And Terri, told me that we had a plan to manage pain with as few narcotics as possible. Seems to be working so far, and I am so grateful. My mind is clear, despite little sleep last night. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

My Left Knee Replacement: Two and a Half Weeks
http://hennesseytkr2.blogspot.com/2012/10/two-and-half-weeks.html
My Left Knee Replacement. Monday, October 29, 2012. Two and a Half Weeks. Since we've had good, dry weather, I've been walking without a cane outside since Friday afternoon. However, I had a setback on Friday night, getting into bed. What kind of idiot would jump into bed and swing her leg over, toes pointed down? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

My Left Knee Replacement: Not Much to Report
http://hennesseytkr2.blogspot.com/2012/10/not-much-to-report.html
My Left Knee Replacement. Wednesday, October 17, 2012. Not Much to Report. I'm happy to report that I don't have much to write about. Physical therapy yesterday was uneventful, but I was happy I went. I had forgotten the correct way to do leg raises and had already developed some compensatory bad habits getting up from a chair or lying down. October 20, 2012 at 4:19 AM.

My Left Knee Replacement: Home!
http://hennesseytkr2.blogspot.com/2012/10/home.html
My Left Knee Replacement. Saturday, October 13, 2012. I was ready to leave the hospital at about 2:00 pm, when the occupational therapist gave me a "pass" after I did everything that both she and I could think of, including getting in and out of office chairs. I hopped, literally, into the truck and we were home in 15 minutes. Set up the equipment in the living room and lined up the acetominophen, Celebrex and gabapentin (only 100 mg twice daily, for those wringing their hands). The Original Right TKR.

My Left Knee Replacement: Feeling Good!
http://hennesseytkr2.blogspot.com/2012/10/feeling-good.html
My Left Knee Replacement. Friday, October 12, 2012. I had a good day. Dr. Arendt's orthopaedic resident visited me before 7:00 am, just before a 12-hour surgery marathon. I realized when he reviewed the non-narcotic pain medication plan with me that the care team had given a lot of thought to my unpleasant experiences with Vicodin, hydrocodone and other hard-hitting drugs.
