Got my new left knee last Wednesday, 7/7/2010.  It was put in by Dr Gregory Stocks at Texas Orthopedic Hospital.  It went smoothly as far as I know.  It hurts more today than it did the day after surgery.  I had a nice pain pump - all I did was press the button and the pain went away.  I also had a catheter which sure was convenient.  I just drank and drank water,  juice, tea, etc. and didn't have to get out of bed.
I had my first physical therapy on my knee at Mem Hermann today.  I had to be evaluated.  After that the therapist, Carolyn was done with me.  I told her that I came all  way to exercise and I wanted to do some exercises.  Physical therapy is the only thing that helps with the pain, now that I am out of the hospital.
