I'm so glad to hear surgery went well and he's up & walking. Just tell him to do exactly what the doctor and therapy tells him so he can heal properly.

Thanks all for the prayers and thoughts. I am doing quite well. Had the urinary catheter removed this morning. That was the most uncomfortable thing so far. Lol

Sounds like you're in good spirits!

I started PT today myself - I'm a big fan of productive pain.

Just wanted to update and say that Brian is doing exceptionally well. He's sore but the pain isn't unbearable and his meds are keeping everything tolerable. He's sleeping well and eating well an getting around pretty well. He had his first therapy session yesterday. He has exercises he has to do at home once or twice a
Day and then he goes to the therapist 3 times a week.

He's a good patient :) no complaining or anything lol.

What do I have to complain about? You are waiting on me (and Hannah and the dogs....) hand and foot. Its almost awkward. :) Almost. I could get used to it. Lol

Puck, it's nice to hear you say how much everyone is doing for you & you appreciate it. You're a good man! Continue on the road to recovery; soon you'll be running.

I was told "no running and no contact sports, ever again."

I never liked high impact cardio in the first place, so no worries there. As long as I can still hike and do all the things required to hunt/fish etc I am ok. No more hockey is a bummer, but I can get over that too. If I get past this and get my range of motion back, w/o pain ill call it a win. Frankly, if the results are anything but that, doc gots some splainin' to do. Lol

I am as well as could be expected at this point for having an entire joint removed and replaced. :)
