If you were two weeks out from a TKR, I would think you might be frustrated. But Revisions are much more complex and recovery is more difficult. You are doing very well. Keep at it. Glad you have a great revision surgeon.

Thank you all very much for responding. There is one other issue.I'd like your feedback on if you have some. As you might imagine.
On my 12 year journey with this terrible trigeminal pain I have tried solution known to man. I have a long list of highly skilled providers who have failed to reduce my pain . It is no reflection of them as they have done all the right things. I have been told repeatedly that my facial pain configuration is exceedingly rare. Twelve weeks ago I decided to get off the buprenorphine patch because it was not reducing my pain enough to justify its use. I then enrolled in the compassionate.Use program for cannabis and have been using that supplemented with my own cannabis for paying control. It is a little like going to a gunfight with a pea shooter , but I was sick of all the codeine and other narcotics. Because of the major interaction between cannabis and hydrocodone I have not used any cannabis , medical or otherwise in the two weeks since my total need revision because of all the is is hydrocodone. I would very much like to resume that for multiple reasons. I have been reluctant to do so but it is getting very hard or not to resume. Can any of you please share any experience you may have either directly or indirectly. I know this post is probably in the wrong place and would ask that the moderators help me and put it in the right place so I can get a maximum response. Thank you all for your compassion. I am very grateful
