Janeeek,
I know, the nausea and vomiting is awful from the anesthesia, so I would take some Phayzyme to help with the gut. Still very nauseated from the pain pills. Seems that most everyone feels this way. I have an ice machine and that really helps! Keep pumping your feet to keep the blood clots away…very important! My knee got to 90 degrees before the home health care left. I do exercises 3x a day, walk 10 minutes a day with my walker, and ice in between. Good luck!! Be patient…I wasn’t and tried to do too much too fast.
