Today is one hole week since I got my new knee. A weaker man would have given up about five days ago but I am ''Navy Strong'' and as long as the pain pills hold out...... I should be fine.
My P.T. nurse is former Sgt, ''Ms. Ratchet'' retired from the Air Farce. She is a delightful thing with a face like a prune, a grip that will crush iron bars, and a personality of a bull dog on a short chain.
I was really proud to tell her that I was ''Second Generation , U.S. NAVY''. She said '' Good for you, squid '' and pushed my heel into the crack of my butt and held it there for five seconds.
Great balls of sweat popped out on my forhead and I almost wet my pants.
''You aint been doing the exercises on the exercise sheet have you Sailor''?????
''Yes I have but I have been doing them with the other leg........ YOU KNOW, THE ONE WITH THE BANDAGE''
'' OOOOOOOOOOPS, MY BAD '' she grunted
After about 45 minutes of grunting and sweating she took a break and I sneaked and popped two more pain pills without her noticing it. (This is gonna be a lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng recovery)
She comes by about twice a week , sometimes three times and we ''do the dance''
For what it is worth I am doing pretty good now. I can ''walk without the walker'' though Willa insists I still use it. I am doing a lot of time watching Dr. Fill and the history channel and sleeping. Some nites I can sleep all nite in the bed with Willa and occasionally I can ''hobble back'' a cup of coffee when I get up to go ''tinkle''.
I will keep you guys informed as time goes bye.........
