Well, the deed is done. On Wednesday past Dr. Steve Snow (a personal friend from my high council days) did an arthroscopy on my right knee to repair a tear in the meniscus. Total time from entering the surgical clinic to leaving was three hours. I was feeling fine the rest of the day and for half of yesterday--really thought that I was one of the few who would have relatively minor post-surgical pain. Then, yesterday afternoon the surgical anesthesia finally wore off...and WHAM, the pain came with a vengeance. Not the worst pain I've ever had (my back spasm years ago in Virginia is the all time winner) but pain nonetheless.
So out came the Oxycodone and things settled down although last night I had a hard time getting to sleep even with my Tylenol PM and seemed to wake up every hour or so throughout the night. Interesting. Wonder if the pain meds caused that. Arla or Laura, either one of you have a thought on that?
