She was totally against it however we are past that point now
I’m really hoping I can get discharged tomorrow I miss just being outside so much it’s crazy the little things we take for granted how important they really are
Hang in there! You’re wrong the hill for the worst of this experience. I guess I can relate; I’m bored out of my mind in here!! 
Will you be going to BOF CEO?

Hey man. Just did my first mini physical therapy. Walked around a little, it wasn’t bad at all this time. I mean it was miserable but I walked to the door and backwitjout fainting. I think that’s worth something. Sweaty as hell though
I’m also looking forward to my bowl movement tomorrow 😭my farts smell BAD.  Knee bending is hard.

Right now I’m in pain/super sore from the walk but I guess this is ok for now. How are you? Looking forward to leaving the hospital?

Yeah no kidding my wife said my gas could kill an elephant, it’s normal from the anesthesia and means your going to have a bowel movement. Each day gets way better, today wasn’t really that bad and I’m exited to get released tomorrow. I think the first week is 80% of everything and after that it’s just patience
Hang in there man once you get discharged you’ll feel way better

I’ll try to visit you before I leave, pm or let me know your room number

Monday - May 17th. 2nd day after surgery

Wow last night was a nightmare. I struggled to fall asleep as nerve pains kept me awake. I begged the nurses for pain meds but it did not help. I don’t have any stomach issues luckily but my legs feel like they’ve been ran over by a car. Holy crap the pain is real.
I need to hire a caretaker to help me move around and exercise. If you have any experience with this please reach out! Otherwise I’m contacting the team for help/suggestions.

This is so weird; the previous two nights were so easy in hindsight. Today feels like it’s going to be the hardest day

Tuesday - May 18th. 3rd day after surgery
Hi all. The pain substantially subsided yesterday after a nap around 1pm. I still had no control over my quads.
No sleep last night, maybe a total of 3-5 hours across bursts of eye closing moments.

This morning I have a little control over my quads. I can bend a little easier, and lift my legs after bending and keep them suspended for a little over 10 seconds. No pain, just soreness and strings. Feels like pulling on really hard rubber.

I will work nonstop today to achieve mobility to get off and on the bed. They seem keen on throwing me out of the hospital today but I am absolutely not ready to move out. I can’t support myself.

But you’ve only been 3 days? They wouldn’t allow me to be released until 4th day
