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.
