Well Gang I’m home as of 10:30 last night .
I actually slept. Lol
My dog didn’t know what to do . Hanging his head low he’s peeking out the front door . I call him he takes one step forward then back again .
he came out on the third call and it was like It’s been a life time . So happy running around like a gray hound whimpering etc . He didn’t know what to do but he was happy .
My X wife never did that !

Hello again figured I’d update , so I had my new knee surgery yesterday ( Tuesday) morning . Every thing went well no infection detected if there was they would have the procedure postponed.
anyway hard for me to believe but my leg feels much better now then before the surgery. I can bend my leg a bit more which is a nice feeling though there’s some ouches along the way ! Lol
I actually didn’t have to take any pain meds yesterday or today which is great . I still took them just days before , that spacer block in my leg always ached and it was hard to sleep I had to pop a pill or two but now nothing yet .
the nurses found it hard to believe no pain pills and they remember me from the last go around. Lol
the good news , I talked the doc into letting me go home and drive . They weren’t overly pleased with that part but I said , hey I’m not under the influence of pain meds ,I feel better then when I came in and I had to drive my own a$$ hereto begin with !
so I get to go through therapy one more time then I’m outta here ! Ya hoo !!!

In my experience in working in a hospital, I came to these general observations: Hip surgery, not too many complaints: Knee surgery, a bit more ouchy: Shoulder surgery -- stay the hell away from the patient, especially right afterwards!
Be well!

But be careful of the knee photo you post!! My first knee replacement photo grossed everyone out so bad, frono hid it and made it a link with a warning to keep the crowd controlled. So make sure it's PG and not graphic. Just some brotherly advice....

Yeah, this crowd seems to handle broken guitars much better than blood 'n gore.
I hope that you heal quickly & thoroughly, Ray.

Update , um my knee swelled up I mean really swelled up . I told my therapy lady to just sit down and take a easy session. Lol
my knee was swelled up but after the first routine that was all she wrote .
My doc said I broke the record of how fluid was drained of the knee . Actually it was blood and it 330 ml
ok home I go told the therapy lady it’s another week of easy work can I get you something to drink ?
my knee this time was a bit bigger, the therapist said put your and straighten out the leg . I told her no way in hell is it gunna get close straight .Not getting it straight is a concern to me because for 3 months or whatever I had that block in there and knee was bent and locked that way until the next surgery.
ok pushing ahead doc said geez it’s a balloon-so I said I bet I beat the record of my record. Lol and it sure did . This time 630 ml was sucked out of my knee .
I’m hoping it does not return for a third record breaker . Lol ugh ... what a pain in the butt .

Hang in there, Ray.
