It has now been 79 days since my knee replacement surgery. I'm fine, still a little stiffness and restricted range of motion but not enough to worry about. I figure it will take about six months to get back to normal, maybe longer. It really doesn't matter how long at this point because I can pretty much do what I want to do.
We will be taking our first long-drive in a couple of weeks for the Plano Eggfest in Plano, Texas. Two weeks ago I probably would have had a problem sitting for that long but I'm thinking it shouldn't be a problem by November 2nd when we leave.
Meanwhile, I have little moments where the knee will suddenly become painful. It happens mostly when I first go to bed. But that's why I take a couple of Tylenol and an Ambian to help me get to sleep. Maybe in a few more weeks I'll be able to discontinue both drugs. As Martha would say, "That would be a good thing."
