Well Bandages came off and I washed the scarred areas
of my knees...

Little discoloration from bruising, but not that scary looking
The ace bandages had to go, they were getting really itchy...

If I can get a ride to Walgreens I will pick up some Arnica
to see if that helps w/the swelling, (maybe I'll make a paste?)

**P-funk** · 02-10-2006, 07:13 PM

hope you have a speedy recovery.

i honestly found motrin more effective for pain than vicodin post surgery...

don't push yourself to do more than you should. i did n my hands are like half as good as they could have been. they cramp up n go numb when i lift even girly weight. take it easy.
