I need to get my left one done in two years, hope your experience is good and you heal well.

Kenk

Thanks Bunny, the first one went great. Just an FYI, search long and hard for the best surgeon in your area, it will be well worth the your time

BEEMER!

Good luck to both of you on your replacement.  Mine went way better than I thought and I wish I had not waited so long.

The only person who told me that I would have no trouble going home and taking care of myself was my surgeon and I listened to him and he was right.

Kenk

Well, the surgery is the complete. I just wish the heavyhitter meds prescribed would do their job a bit better
Thanks for all of the Prayers!

What are they giving you for pain?  They gave me Percocet.  That is 10 milligrams of oxycodone and 650 milligrams of acetaminophen every 4 hours.  It would last 3 hours and you had to bear with it the last hour.  I took it for 7 days and then half that much for 2 days and then went to straight Ibuprofren.

My Lady friend's Sister-in-law had both of hers replaced on the 31st and is doing great it sounds like.  My Doctor would not do two at the same time, he had too many problems when they did.

Evening Beemer,
For my 2.5 day stay in the hospital, it was percocet (not sure on the MG's), a Dilaudid IV (awesome stuff), and Morphine Sulfate. Once I went home, it has been primarily percocet and Morphine Pills / a stool softener : ), I'm a little concerned that they may try and cut me off prematurely do to the opioid crisis in this country, but my recent knee is doing awesome so far. Between the pain and bruising, I just want it to be done
