I got an ow-ie

Yesterday I went in and had my knee surgery from when Riki knocked me over. apparantly they took out a lot of cartiledge and repaired some miniscus... I feel like a bus hit me. Thank God for pain killers:crazy:
Riki laid by my bed all day and just gave me that look..., so for now, it's bedrest and pain pills, no showers for a week (yuk). I feel grubby!

I'm so sorry you are having to go through this. I have had two pretty bad injuries from my Newf, but none requiring surgery. What did the surgeon say when you told him HOW you got the injury? I do hope you get some rest and not let the pain get out of control. Take care.

Reduce the pain meds as soon as you can..get a feeling for the tolerance for the pain..judge the amount..where is..how to 'move with the tissues/angulations possible'. One can reduce pain..simply by 'mentally dealing with it..thinking about it. A prime factor in dealing with pain..is out thinking it..when you know how it feels..the fear of feeling pain..diminishes..nicely. Rest..and heal, hugs, ina n HB n Kesa

Sorry you are hurting. . . but glad you are healing! They really do know "the look," and I think they are BORN knowing it! Take care of you!!

Glad to hear the surgery is over and you're back home. Take it easy, and remember to accept whatever meals you're presented with grace (some folks only know how to make soup from a can).

Hope you are up and around soon. It would drive me crazy as well not being able to shower. Do you wear a cone on your head at night?? :devil:

That's priceless.

Glad knee surgery is over.I had twice so just hang in there it gets better.
If you start wearing the cone then cut back on your meds. :devil:

Glad the surgery is over and you're on the way to recovery.

Painkillers can be our friends. LOL

Ouch... (((U))) Try taking Rescue Remedy, too. I found some of my pain was from the anxiety & tension, not relaxing the area. Can't lose!
