[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 4218797, member: 7900"] Thanks All for the concerns. My doctor doesn't send his patients to physical therapy places, but instead, gives us exercises to do pre and post surgery, so this may go on for a number of weeks. I've had a heck of a time keeping from wanting to take a nap, which I blame mostly on some of the medications. I am currently off all of the pain meds but something like extra strength Ibuprofen, and those will run out in about three more days. After that, I can get off the "every 8 hours" schedule and go to regular Ibuprofen as needed. As for the walker, they went away just a few days after we got back to the RV home, and the cane is carried, but seldom used as of this time. Sorry, Elwoodtrix, but I don't have any x-ray pics, but I hope to ask about them when we have my next appointment on March 5 to also possibly get stitches removed. However, I do have some pictures of exposed stitches. These are referred to as "zipper stitches," but I don't know just how they get removed. Maybe these should be my return to posting Pics of the Day?
