I posted here in the last week about my upcoming bilateral knee arthroscopies with partial medial menisectomies. I did have this surgery done yesterday and also had bilateral patellar chondroplasties. I am home and for the most part, feeling pretty good. General anesthesia did exacerbate my asthma a little bit so now I am on 2 liters of oxygen for 48 hours. Feeling better though. As for my legs and mobility, I am doing even better than I expected to be doing at this point. I am mostly just laying down, keeping my legs iced and elevated. I have taken a couple of doses of Vicodin today, but pain has been about a 2-3/10. I chose to use a walker, instead of crutches since it was bilateral. Sunday was a very difficult day for me pain-wise and ambulating. I really felt like a little old lady at 50!! I could hardly get up after sitting and it took me a few minutes to regain my balance and steps. 2 hours after my surgery yesterday, I could walk like a champ again. I am feeling very positive and know that the strength of God was the only thing that has got me through the last 4-5 months. That, and the people who have been sending up prayers for me have been very felt. I hope this is encouragement for others who have an upcoming surgery. I know that there are going to be hills and valleys, but I have an excellent orthopedic surgeon who I feel confidence in. I start PT next week and any advice I can get on this would be appreciated. I am a nurse, on my feet much in recovery room so I will probably be taking a full month off. Any advice appreciated and look forward to the information. Neeseymaye
