I just remembered - if they give you opiods (Percocet, etc.) for pain, take a stool softener with each dose. That shit will block you up like a 2 inch rubber plug in a 1" hole.

    LBlack14 Been on them for years Unc. I'm prepared for a change.

    It will not only mess up your B.M. , it'll mess up your whole body and especially between your ears.
    Get rid of it as soon as you can.
    My surgeon made a comment to my family that I was unnecessarily being tough to take only half the prescribe dose after my surgery and winged it off 2 weeks before the average . But I know it's bad for my system, a little pain is better than taking the opioids more than you need.
    You had been on it for a long time , seek help if you have difficulty rid of it.

        It's great that you "pulled the trigger" and got it done. Now, pay attention to the therapists and you'll be back on the course before you know it. Good luck to you in recovery mode.

        Yep -that stuff is bad juju. I quit the Percocet 3 days after my knee replacement last Nov. The Euphoric pain-free naps were nice, but I get the shakes from that crap, anxiety, compulsive club ho-ing.....................

            LBlack14

            Take your prescribed med. No need to tough it out in the first week after the surgery.
            Did they say when to start the rehab ?

              Take the pain meds. Pain puts stress on the heart and you don't need that now. I hope you're out there collecting birdies by May.

              Had my last PT session here at the hospital a few minutes ago, gonna be heading home later. Will have, at home, PT for 2 weeks then rehab after that.

                Sounds like things are going well. As with any limb surgery it is very important to do the prescribed PT to get back your full range of motion and strength. Good luck on the rehab Landon.

                  Speedy recovery, LB! Glad things (seemed) to have gone well without issue!

                  Praying for a quick, pain-free rehab process for you!

                  I want to thank all y'all for the well wishes here and via text. It really does mean alot to me. In home PT starts this afternoon around 3:30.

                    Happy things went well. Best wishes for a speedy recovery and return to the game.

                    Great time, enjoy the stretching and the "soreness"........you should feel much relaxed afterward.

                      Get better soon Landon! Hopefully you'll be able to get some decent rounds in this year.

                      You'll be back in no time......do all the PT ! Good luck with the rehab.

                        He better because this 155 lber will come and TRY to kick his ass.

                        Don't think I could miss the target, but I would enjoy the attempt, and the Lord knows We would enjoy the hugs afterward.

                        Get a good nights sleep LB. 😉

                              Follow the PT plan carefully nephew.....it pays off huge dividends!

                              P.S. just found out my real nephew lives in Mason, Ohio. Works at WestRock Pulp and Paper......small world!

                                Glad your home. The pain you now feel is temporary, always remember that throughout all the rehab. Lots of short walks will keep you feeling less stiff and be mindful of the precautions.
                                Good luck, call me if you feel the need.

                                Meds, icewater, recliner and we watched hoops. My brother stopped by for a visit. Was a pretty good time. I'm moving right along. PT today went great. She says from what she sees, I won't need any after the 2 week in house most probably, just keep up the good work and walking. Been walking a good bit, with and without the walker. Made it to the upstairs (15 steps) this morning without the walker for a shower and shave. have been outside (with walker) for small walks as well. I'm icing now as I type.

                                  My prediction is you'll be golfing by the first of May (maybe sooner). Good Luck with the rehab.

                                  Atta boy!

                                  Voice sounds strong and confident. Oh ... so does the one doing the walking.

                                  Small steps for some ... Giant strides back to a better Life for a very Strong Man that can see the future of walking that special one down the aisle in the future with no pain. 👌😉

                                  Congrats.
