Ok, it's been a week now. The home nurse came and changed the wound dressing today. She measured the length of the incision, and the diameter of my leg. She said everything looked nice and clean, no bleeding or oozing. We were comparing it with the left leg.
I was describing the weird shooting, stabbing, pain that's been keeping me from sleeping. She said it's definitely nerve pain. We told her about the trouble we've had with getting the pain pill prescription refilled, this time, and in the past. She called the doctor to get a different medication to try. I would like to get a better result than last time, and I think this could be a big part of. We'll pick it up tomorrow and find out.
We tried a few new exercise things today, and I feel like we're actually making good progress on the first knee. The new one is still really stiff, and sore, not bending very much. Just keep going Dennis.
And today I left the house for the first time, went and got adjusted at the chiropractor. It is still really hard to sit with my leg down on the floor. Super uncomfortable, but it sure was nice to get out.
