Had the staples taken out on the 15th....OUCH!!! to me that was worse than the surgery, really it hurt. Every. single. one. There was around 40! I think they need to do this an easier less painful way. Yesterday, the 16th. I wasn't too good, felt a bit down. Today I laid on the recliner till 10 am. Just decided to relax. I had a pain pill at 12 o'clock last night and didn't take another one till 12 noon today. Big improvement! Went for a walk and got my ROM on the CPM machine to 100 degrees. All and all a good day. Funny thing with this kind of operation tomorrow could go either way, hoping it's good.
