...and doing great!! If things go any smoother I'll get worried. I stopped taking anything except for Tylenol/Advil on 5th day following surgery. I hate vicadin(sp?)... I had to sleep (or try to sleep) in a recliner at home for the 1st 3 nights, but managed to lay flat in the bed 8 days post-op. Now I can lay flat and on my side - what a relief to be able to get horizontal!! The Doctors gave me a goal of 1 mile walking/day after the 1st week home. I walked 4 miles on the 10th day post-op - although that was 3 seperate trips during the day... The next day I had slight soreness in hte tendons behind my knees, but that is all. I feel like I could do LOTS more, but I am tempering myself so I don't trigger any issues. VERY grateful to be on hte road to recovery and amazed at how quickly it's happening. I still have a long ways to go to be 100%, but I would say I am at ~55% after 12 days.... Thanks again to all of you on this forum - I only hope that my inputs will encourage others in our shoes the way the rest of you encouraged me....
