[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1715881, member: 25884"] Thanks. It has been a not very good experience. The surgery went good but the rehab that they put me in was HORRIBLE. I had good response the day after, movement wise, so they said I did not need the "acute rehab" which was where I was supposed to go. So I got put in a "nursing home rehab" and it was so bad. NOTHING like when I had the ankle replacement. Food was inedible and I sent it back several times.... no choices.... 1 hr rehab a day then basically locked in room. Waited for an hour several times for response to pushing button so I could get help to go to bathroom.... It really was awful. Then got home and getting around a little but the pain was more than I ever imagined and the drugs... even opiods, did nothing to touch it and I couldn't sleep.... then the reaction to the adhesive from the bandage covering and the glue that held the zip-line that holds the 2 sides of the incision together rather than using stitches. I am just now getting relief from that with Burt's Bees "calming serum" ..... everything, even just plain aloe made them burn and hurt.... skin is raw and after 2 days of the BB stuff, they are not as raw or sore. Go back for post surgery appt on Monday and plan to tell them exactly what I have been going through... and tell them to NEVER EVER put anyone in that awful nursing home/rehab. That is where you put old people to die.... and on top of it, they have a shortage of help like everywhere else.... the rehab girl was wonderful but she could only spend so much time with me with a building full of people she was responsible for. I am looking forward to warm weather and hopefully being able to get out with my cows again.... When is Bessie due again? [/QUOTE]
