Medication Side Effects

Feeling Better

Once Linda stopped taking pain the medication for knee replacement, she began to feel better within the next 24 hours. Her nausea subsided, her hallucinations stopped and are thinking became more rational and coherent. That next day she was feeling more like herself. With the nausea being gone, she was able to do her exercises for her knee. Not only that, she walked more as she was less dizzy as well.;

The following day was even better as she was more like herself. She spent more time and at the bedroom, walked and exercise more often. With nausea gone, she was able to eat , and as a result, felt stronger with more energy. In other words, she could do more.

Linda was also fine with me leaving her to go running on the trail. I was also able to do the grocery shopping. It’s good to see her stronger and more like herself. In fact, she encouraged me to enter a half marathon next Saturday with my buddies.

Some of the keys for a better recovery include the following: icing, elevating her knee above her heart, walking, doing her  exercises and importantly, and being on the right medication. So far so good.

Like I’ve said all along, keep moving, laughing, smiling, bonding, loving and appreciating. That makes it all  good.
