Sounds like it went OK. Hopefully no new numbness or tingling and resolved n/t if there was any. She's taking it like a champ. No numbness anywhere, but she's bruised to high hell on her arms and legs. My theory is that where they were poking and prodding as they monitored nerve function during the surgery. She didn't have much stenosis of the spinal column itself, but those 4 disc's in her c spine were all compressed and severely pressing down on the nerve roots exiting those areas. Surgeon thinks that will help with a lot of her other pain, including her migraines. Will know a lot more about how much it helped in the coming weeks. My MRI on my lumbar spine is on the 14th, so we will see how that goes. Lol. Have they taken the MRI and just going to tell you the results on the 14th?

That's not bad. Hopefully she's medicated properly and gets some sleep the next few nights She's being discharged from the hospital soon. C-collar when not in bed and a Philly collar in the shower. Super restricted on her range of movement until December at least to let the fusions heal. 4 fucking disc's, Dr said they were all so bad they were starting to calcify. But, since it was the day before Halloween, I did ask him if he would giver her a set of Frankenstein neck bolts. Disappointed that he didnt.... Hope she has a smooth recovery, Buck. Take Care of you and yours, brother.

Just more opportunities for Ruth, a 98 yo dementia patient with poop fingers and the strength of 10 grown men once the clock hits midnight, to fight everyone.

I visited her today and I always check her phone because she messes up the settings. I saw a text thread that somehow she got ahold of the Verizon agent. It was hilarious. He (AI I'm sure) kept asking what "help" she needed. She kept telling him to "Help help, I'm really hungry" and then asked him to tell her mom and dad to come visit. Thats when he cut off the conversation.

It's really sad but sometimes she is funny. I go three times a week and get to know the other people there. I talked to her on the phone and told her I would come tomorrow, and she said "okay well call first in case I'm not home" She has also said they are keeping her against her will and she is going to call the police but never has.

It’s been 3 weeks since I’ve had knee replacement surgery. My surgeon was very happy with my progress.
I’ve reached my goal for the straightened leg at zero degrees deviation from horizontal.
I’m close to my knee flexion goal of 120 degrees. I reached 115 degrees today.
I do all my exercises and PT religiously.
I walk without a cane, can climb stairs, and walk normally (forward and backward).
I was also cleared to drive.
My new knee is going to have a big impact on the quality of my life
