Dave,
Forgot to mention, a bag of frozen peas make a great reusable substitution for an ice pack.

Got soft pack ice packs, Richard... but it was mentioned...perhaps by you ?

Tough heritage, Galen?  That may have been more true when I was younger...now I try to avoid pain if I can...at least without the side effects of narcotic pain meds...been relying on Tylenol during the day...

Gave me hydro codone in hospital...didn't try to walk much there... so no idea how it will affect equilibrium...do know that I was in and out with bizarre dreams constantly...not looking for ward to that!  

Thanks for prayers...first PT tomorrow at 11AM...doh!    :knothead:

I'll hang my hat on that one, Galen...

Last night was BAD!  Stuff they gave me with codeine tears me up...tried stuff I got after hernia surgery and it worked good night came home...

Sure didn't work last night...soon as I was flat on my back, leg, knee, ankle, etc started to pound...made me think I Had a clot or something...

Toughed it out several hours then took their stuff.

Whew!  Just talked to surgeon's assistant... not much left I can take... This was one of my bigger concerns!

This too shall pass!

Okay Dave, I'll apologize up front, but now that you're home and well I have to ask a question that has plagued me since my ordeal a year ago.  That being how does one manage to get those tortuous thigh high "compression stockings" that are intentionally two sizes too small on without assistance?  I will confess that my wife had to help me for the first couple of days until I got some range of movement back.  She waffled between thinking she was killing me to actually wanting to kill me!  How are you pulling that off? Actually "pulling them off" wasn't much of a problem, lol.. once I got them down as far as I could reach I'd grab the tops with the toes of my good leg.  Was I really that big a wuss?

Ah....haven't tried yet, but have for many, many decades worn the high compression knee high socks due to a prior accident and circulation issues while living in MT...

Picture a rain spout section.  Then picture holes in either side nearest to your face with big ropes thru the holes with large knots to keep from pulling back thru...got it?  Now make the rain spout out of plastic... you slip the compression hosiery rolled up over the end of the spouting, powder your foot and the inside of the spout, slip you foot in and pull up the spouting.

Haven't done the thigh high yet...still wearing the ones they put on me in the horsepistol.

They were to send me home with a 2nd pair to switch out, but did not...so I didn't take them off.  At PT today, I got my other pair so tomorrow, I'll be checking that out to see i f it works the same!

Hoping they work much the same... once over the heel, it should be simple to work up the rest, as I CAN bend that far...

Getting in and out of that infernal "CPM" machine is a workout in its own right... PT said their exercises, + ice and such are more important... and the surgeon provided blow up hickeys to put over your sweats/britches (calves) and a thing for the knee and you plug into a battery operated controller.

PFfttttt...PnA$$ to hook up, takes 1.5 seconds to blow up the leg things and INSTANTLY lets down, (can't feel any compression) then the other one, then a lull while it struggles to blow up the bigger knee brace with ice pack and then starts over... time of compression is totally nil on the legs... I'm going to blow it off...too much important stuff to do!

BTW, the rain spout, with compression knee high, would fold up so severely it'd crack down the middle...I hear they now make them of metal!

Richard,

Sent you note about my failure to use the apparatus today... foot too swollen... rolled up, powdered foot and worked over gently!

Benadryl I take to offset codiene effects has me so loopy i can't see to type...

Thanks for prayers... Seriously... THANK YOU!

:pray:      :pray:   Hang in there Doc, last week I finally went down a few stairs like a normal person. With my setbacks it's been 6 months for me but I can see some improvement finally. Riding a bike [stationary] daily and going to the "Y". Hang in there you'll make it!!!......    :pray:      :pray:

Don't do benadryl and codeine.  That's a nasty combination.  I wear the hose too, knee highs and I'm supposed to wear the arms too but finding ones that fit is difficult.  

What you don't want is my permanent external brace that twists my knee 60° so my foot points forward.  I might be able to lift 325 again but that thing is a prison at the end of the day.  Do the PT, wear the thrice-cursed hose, and mixing two downers is bad.  I'm praying for you.

Let me know what strength hose, some stuff is wool and is a LOT more comfortable.
