Well, the 'scope wasn't bad at all. I was home by 9:30 am! I am, however, all wired up with:
- a pump that sends novacaine to the affected knee continuously (no, I can't "push" it)
- a cool water pump thingy that wraps around the knee. You have to lie on the bed to use it 95 minutes a day/off 2 hrs/on 95 minutes/etc all day but not all night
- a continuous flexion gizmo that the leg is strapped into and you use with the CWPT for about an hour three times a day
All this equipment keeps me close to home and close to my bedroom. The knee is achey and somewhat stiff, but not really painful. I've got reading and phone calls to keep me busy. With El Jefe as my practical nurse and Babs as my personal chef, I can't complain. In fact, I may like it too much!

Sends Babs on up anytime!
Glad it's going well.
glad you're on the mend. I volunteer to serve as person channel changer and remote control guardian if I can get in on that personal chef stuff!
aaah, enjoy the pampering while you can!
WOW! That was fast!
Do you pick up radio free Japan with all that wiring?
Glad it all went well. (though perhaps wincing and moaning some might help prolong the nice pampering you're gettin')
My friend Cindy loved that cool water thingy after her foot surgery. I hope you stay comfortable and enjoy your down time!
Doesn't sound like my first choice of how to spend a day. Here's hoping for a speedy recovery.
Sounds icky but like you are getting great care!!
