I’m slightly past my third week post surgery. Surgery was beautiful and afterwards 2nd day I went home and basically took care of myself, which was very difficult the first week. After the first week each day, there is much improvement. For the past week or so I’ve been just using the cane to ambulate and really don’t even need a cane at this point. I couldn’t wait to be off all medication. I am now only on Aspirin 81 mg twice daily for a total of the first month and Celebrex, the surgeon wanted me on it twice a day, but I could not tolerate that so I’m only on it once a day no later than 12 noon or it will keep me awake at night. Took pain med for the first week as needed now only taking the Oxycodone 5 mg before physical therapy. I am doing outpatient therapy three times a week and after the third week I’m going to be doing aqua therapy which im very much looking forward to.
