Hey All,
The knee replacement surgery went well today. The scheduled appointment ran 45 late, but Hubby was wide awake and looking good after recovery.
No problems at all. When you do the scrubs with the special soap scrubs and swab your nose with the antiseptics they prescribe, all goes well.
The Virtua Hospital FLOORS me!! He's got access to email, the Internet, can order food at any time during the day, and access to a bunch of TV channels! Seriously! He was like WOW! Why did I bring my Kindle?!
Five hours after the surgery, they got him up and walking 30 feet with a 4-point wheeled walker. He was actually able to bend his operated knee quite a bit before they did this. His leg lifts suck because he never worked on his Quads with a stationary bike or a Nordic Track machine like I begged him to.
The Nursing staff is great and I intend to bring a fruit platter to the Nurses' Station tomorrow.
And hopefully he will get to a Rehab facility for all of next week since I'm looking at 6 am - 8:30 pm days all next week. ( ) It's looking good, fingers crossed.
I am so proud of Hubby!!
