Today is a down day. It is the 12th day from surgery. Yesterday I felt better after I finally took a shower. I have no strength to get in the shower again and I am devoid of much energy. I'm sleeping a lot. I hope I get better. The doctor wanted me to upload pictures of my knee which is one of the areas that hurts so much, but I don't know how to do that so I'm stuck, hoping for the best. I have an ice pack on my knee/thigh area.

@cindiwass Hang in there! I wish I could reach through my phone and get those pictures for your doctor. Please keep up posted on your progress. You are definitely a strong person.

Hi @cindiwass, everyone reacts to sugeries differently. I found recovery from knee surgery for severed ligaments longer and much more painful than open heart surgery. You're probably exhausted from showering yesterday. Probably best not to attempt that alone at this point. Maybe the home health aid can help you take photos of your knee. You will heal and get better, it takes time. Don't forget to eat to keep your strength up. Protein is essential. Wishing you the best.
