Knee Replacement

At the group PT session on Tuesday they mentioned that they would like the bent angle of the knee at 90 or higher. They also want the straight angle to be at 5 or less. Tuesday's measurements were at 5 degrees straight and 95 degrees bent. Tuesday night was better for sleeping anyway.

I managed to fall asleep about midnight and except for the 3:00 blood labs I slept all the way to 5:00. 5:00 is when they woke me up to make sure I had the ability to take a shower. Most of Wednesday morning was uneventful with the exception of the PT's coming to my room to do a private therapy. I did get a brief visit from the Physicians Assistant for Dr. Cates letting me know when he wants to see me to take out the stitches and staples.

We are currently trying to get In Home Rehab as well as the blood labs that need to be drawn a couple times a week. If that falls through I am planning on Star Therapy downtown Kingston and Roane Medical Center for the bloodwork. In either case it will be a few weeks before I do much of anything outside the door to my home.
