I just remembered this, but rent, buy, steal, beg or borrow the cold machine thingy. It is like a itty bitty water pump and radiator. I have no idea what it is called but it was a god send. Like so many others on here I wanted no part of the heavy pain pills. This machine has a Velcro wrap you put around your knee, it has a water reservoir you put ice or frozen water bottles in and it circulates the cold water thru the knee wrap. Really really reduces pain and swelling. For the life of me I do not remember what it is called. Talk to her PA or do a Amazon search, it is seriously good for the recovery process.

We did the same thing. The one we got was a Breg Polar Care Kodiak. Kind of pricey but it was well worth it.
 
Good morning, I trust all went well ?
Keeping your lovely wife in my daily prayers, and you as well . I know you will keep here well taken care of brother.
 
I'll echo all the previous comments about after-surgery therapy. Do exactly what is instructed...no more and no less. You'll be amazed at the results.
I had my left knee replaced about 12 years ago and was back bowling less than four months later.
All the best thoughts and prayers on the way.
 
Tony, just seeing this and glad you are there to take care of her. I will be praying for a speedy and full recovery, Joe
 
She is in recovery in alot of pain.Atleast her oxygen is getting better they have it turned down and her level is good.
 
Yo BigD, today is your day to ask for all kind of new shiny things. New cars, trucks, guns, you name it. She will be gorked on meds so will agree to anything! Seriously, I hope it went well and she is safe and sound at home. Do the rehab religiously.
 
The warden is doing way better this morning and gets to go home tomorrow. The therapist was surprised she could bentbher knee so far

Kaiser sent my girlfriend home the same morning she had hers done. It was done as an out-patient. Getting cut on by 6 A.M., home before noon.....
 
Well we got home last night.She finally had a bm.Now she's sleeping catching up from the no sleep hospital.she has been sleeping for 2 hrs in my Archie bunker chair.When she wakes up she'll be doing some exercises!
