Total knee replacement surgery went well. Already been up and walking using a walker. This is the same doctor I used for my other knee, and the same implant/device was used. But for now, this time around does not seem anywhere near as painful as the last time around. But that could be the drugs talking. This time I was awake for the surgery and could hear the doctor using all the tools on my knee. I asked if I could watch, but was told no. They blocked the view with a sheet. My first surgery about 7 and a half months ago, I was put under. And both times I had a nerve block. No range time for me for a while. Maybe when I graduate from the walker to a cane in a few weeks.

Happy to hear things went well. Be a good boy and do what they tell you to and you should be up and at’em in no time (well a little time maybe). 😊
 
Hi,

Thoughts and prayers for those in need of healing. I feel a little guilty about enjoying my evening.

not sure how to take this
i had a doc visit with my VA provider this morning over the every few weeks or so it seems left ear infection, thats the pillow side. this is been going on for almost 3 years and we thought it was the hearing aids, so they sit in a dish on the dresser.
so she squeezed my nodes in my neck, said hmm,
looked in the offending ear and said hmmm its clean...well yes

then she scheduled me a ct with contrast of my neck..
and called my allergy doctor to get an appointment with him again.

but the weird part was the pharmacy
she told me i was not getting enough vitamins, and why did i regain 18 lbs etc ,
i eat fruits every day, strawberries, melons, apples, grapes etc
and a daily multi vitamin
so i go to the pick up window and the guy hands me my package of vitamins she prescribed
i open the package and its a multi vitamin, but also says its pre natal.....WTF
the pharmacist said.. thats what the va uses for OTC prescribed vitamins as they meet the multi vitamin from nature made brand.
i said are you sure its ok...he laughed and said all multi vitamins are same as pre natal,

so when i get home i compared labels... darn almost identical, except folic acid is higher by a few points
so now i ask why do stores charge more for pre natals we bought for grand child when she was pregnant vs normal multi vitamins, if they are 95% same dose and nothing extra
