Well we are back , through Blizzards and gales, 200km round trip plus a 20 minute each way ferry crossing, mind you we get so much per km. back as travelling expenses plus the cost of the ferry. This applies to any visit to any hospital.. She is still quite swollen and a lot of pain but able to get about crutches. The stay in Hospital has not made her any less obstinate, still insists on trying to do everything herself

I am an independent so and so myself, but it makes you stronger when things are difficult!I hope you have a relaxing evening.

Re: Knee Relacement
You get good husband points, Norway, and likewise your wife sounds like an admirable woman stoically getting through this and still soldiering on.I am sure both of you are ready to settle in and get some well-deserved rest. I hope her pain and swelling passes quickly, and that her recovery goes smoothly. I know there is still a lot of work ahead, but everyone I know who has had this surgery say it is well worth it.
Stay cozy!

Re: Knee Relacement
It’s good to know your wife is back home, NorwayMake sure she doesn’t overdo things. When Mr Mags came home from hospital he was told not to do anything for three or four weeks ..... no lifting, no stretching up to cupboards or bending down, no lifting the kettle etc.
Also it is important she does the exercises she has been given every day.
Wishing her well with her recovery...

I'll echo what Mags has said matey - no strenuous activity whatsoever and to sit (if possible) with foot up on a stool with a pillow underneath the knee. For pain relief I was given Oromorph (liquid morphine) alternated with Co-codomol every four hours. If your good wife follows that regime, she may not be in any fit state to do too much at all anyway and will want to sleep many hours of the day.

Strange how surgeons can differ from hospital to hospital
