5 weeks out

Getting a bit tired of this...still having a good bit of pain, not necessarily in the new knee, but in the muscles in the thigh and the calf and the foot -- all bits are connected when it comes to the body!

But all I have to do is remember the days of these photos from the hospital stay...of course, then I had lots of drugs in me and I was pretty oblivious to how anything felt and what I was doing.

I'm ready for some quality of life improvements -- I'm thinking of Glucosamine and Ibuprofen. The G may help with the 'other' aches and pains of my body and the Ibu is better for muscle pain than the tylenol, IMHO.

Still on the 2x per week rehab and today I want to get some muscle massage for the leg - it has been keeping me up and waking me up at night. I have also scheduled a cranial sacral massage by someone I have not tried before. My friend Sue swears by her C-S massage therapist for helping her past her surgical experience.

Stay tuned. I think this story will improve soon!
