It's good to be out of the hospital and recouperating at home!! Well, almost "at home". Gary and I are staying at my Mom's house for a little bit while he is recouping. Our house has a fairly steep staircase to get up to the bedroom and only bathroom, not exactly new-knee-friendly, while Mom's got it all on one floor. So she has moved herself into the upstairs bedroom at her house and let us take over her first-floor bedroom and bathroom. It has really worked out quite nicely, as my Dad likes the company during the day (and he is doing the mother-hen job very well!). Kind of nice living with Mom and Dad again after all these years of being out of the house......... Hopefully we will really be "home" next week if Gary feels up to it.
His physicial therapy home sessions are going well. The therapist says he has about 85% movement in the joint already, which is where they expect their patients to be at 4 weeks or later, not in less than 2! We will find out next Monday if home visits will continue or if he has to actually go to the office for the continuing therapy.
He is generally feeling pretty good, but gets really tired during the day. Do you think it has anything to do with the fact that he is taking Oxycontin AND Oxycodone?!?!?!
We hope you all have a very nice Valentine's Day and send our love to each one of you!!
