New Update below. Back from my vacay. Traded the old knee in this week and back home on day three. So far, so good. Therapist needs my University of Pain Alumni shirt. Day 5- Packed a picnic at kitchen and dragged my leg outside for that healing view of the trees and pond. Sugartoes rewarded me by crawling up in my foot chair and deigning to bump the bad foot. Stayed about 30 minutes and came back exhausted. Nap time. 1 week update - still can't spell well or find my home keys on keyboard, but on leg a bit more, still not long enough to cook! Desire to buy fabric has not returned yet! Off the bad meds except for Physical Therapy time. Three week update - gained a little strength last couple of days and can lift knee higher and without assistance! No more home therapy. I am allowed to drive myself to therapy at the hospital. Sleep still messed up by anesthesia. Desire for fabric or climbing stairs to stitch still not returned - guess that's the last sign of healing.
