Today is post-op day 7, woo! They say it only gets better from this point on. I sure hope so, because yesterday was brutal and my worst day so far..
I've been in quite a bit of pain throughout this whole process, but yesterday it was absolutely horrible. I couldn't get comfortable, my medicine wasn't taking the edge off AT ALL, I couldn't think straight, and the amount of swelling underneath my bandage was unreal. I ended up texting the nurse at my surgeon's office to explain to her what was going on, and they ended up calling me in another prescription to take in between the doses of the original medicine they prescribed. So, I am now on Norco AND Tramadol. The swelling in my knee has gone down considerably since adding the Tramadol, and I was finally able to sleep through the night and most of this morning.
There's not a whole lot to report today, but I will have more interesting things to say tomorrow. Tomorrow is my first post-op appointment, and I am pretty sure that I am getting my stitches out! We'll see. :)
