Thanks Rex. Looking forward to the pics. Knee replacement is a pretty standard procedure now. Same cutter that replaced my right shoulder 3 years ago did this knee replacement (partial) as well. I'm up and on it 7 days later. Drove the car today since I am off the narcotics. He says I can return to the golf course in 6 week.
Release If your OT tells you the exercise won't break more of your body parts, do it; no matter how painful it feels.
I started my OT visit the 3rd day after my forearm surgery, I wonder why they did not start you off sooner. At least to get something going.
I started PT in the hospital last Tuesday just prior to release. I have a list of the same exercises to do at home 3X day. I start at the PT Gym next week after my 2 week visit with the cutter.
Release guess you're running outside and inside of the house for awhile ?
Yeah, she's not driving much, or at all. She drove 1 day last week; messed up her wrist just turning the key and shifting into gear. Very bad arthritis, it is. Been on that IV stuff since they allowed it in the U.S., maybe 10+ yrs. ago. Every 6 weeks. @ $4K per bag x 2 bags, very thankful for Medicare and ins.!!
A wife of one of the guys I play golf with has R.A. She also has all sorts of things going on. Went through surgery. medication, therapy...... Their insurance premium is close to $3,000 per month, he said the insurance never made a penny from them.....
R.A. is a debilitating decease no body really talk about.
I'd hate to think how much this chemo type IV(Remicade) has cost(someone) through the years. She got into it when it was in trials, more or less, in the U.S.. At that time it was around $5-6K per bag, which was no cost to us, and still is hardly a cost to us. Her work ins. picked up what was owed at the beginning, and now Medicare and other ins. takes care of it; almost 100%. Lucky us!
The number of bags, whatever measure it is, is pretty much determined by body weight. She has lost a lot of weight since the beginning, so less med. per session now & I'm not sure it's enough, sometimes. She can't bend like a pretzel any more.
Sorry to say that I could not bend like a pretzel any more like I used to be able to. :-)
Yes, all the medication will take care part or whole of the illness , however they all have sever side effects.
Hope your wife feels better. I know it's hard, but do some type of circulatory exercise, no matter how little it is, will help.
