Well, I have a matched set of knees now, both arthricsopically patched up. My goal is to be able to dance at my daughters wedding in October. Norco is making me itch all over 😬 But I can't do without it, nerve pain flareup has my leg from hip to foot on fire with pain. So thankful for pain meds, except for the constipation. Havn't slept much since Thursday night. Thats the latest, back to your regularly scheduled programming.

T-10 Pre-Op And The Weird Things You Do Before Surgery
Caveat for anyone who doesn't want to see these (there are probably a lot more coming): I'm tagging them all as 'recovery blog' if you want to block it!
I've been trying to maintain a certain nonchalance - sure, surgery is going to suck, but I've already done everything that comes after.
I know I can do it again, and at least this time I can plan for it.
When I got home from Montana, brace and crutches in tow, I hadn't even finished unpacking from my move. There were boxes everywhere places, clothes that needed a home, and crutch-friendly pathways were non-existent. I didn't have estim, or ice packs, or a wedge pillow.
This time I have all that and more! Possibly too much more.
I suspect my mother and aunt have been looking at knee replacement surgeries for ideas of what I might need, but we are on very different pages.
I love them dearly, but I will NOT be using a bedside commode. I will be getting my nerve-blocked butt the ten feet it takes to get me to the bathroom. The surgeon has already made i clear that it's better to get up and moving sooner rather than later, anyway.
I do, however, think they're starting to get to me. Because, and not to be too dramatic, it feels a little like I'm dying.
It's not because I'm suffering or in total agony. But there's this odd background checklist of 'things I can do now' and 'things I won't be able to do for a while'. And it feels weirdly like I'm putting my affairs in order. Which, really, I am - recovery from surgery, to the level I'm at now (but hopefully better!) is at least six months.
I went grocery shopping, picked up the requisite stool softener (hardcore painkillers), and finished a few of the tasks I promised my mother I'd do weeks ago.
I called my dad's sister and asked her out for coffee, since we only get together at the family Christmas party and I'm not planning to go (it's three days post-op.)
And I have been cleaning; in suspicious new ways.
My parents' house is a visual representation of the marriage of ADHD (my mother, myself, my younger brother - we care but the doing is herculanean) and autism (my dad and older brother - they don't care and don't know why they should.)
So believe me when I say the three hours I spent washing windows, scrubbing switch plates, and dusting baseboards is seriously out of place.
It's just...the little things, y'know?
My bedroom windows haven't been cleaned since before we moved in 15 years ago.
It wouldn't normally register on my radar as a worthy task (they're windows, dirt happens!) but dammit I want to be blinded by sunlight after my surgery.
I want to wake up to snow and wish I had my sunglasses.
Tumblr media
(much clean, very shiny!)
I know no one else at home cares. I don't expect them to even notice, really. Hell, I barely care. But there's some weird mental-physical link that's compelled me to make a three (3!!) page to-do list of odds and end tasks like this.
Maybe I'm just looking for ways to stay busy. I'll never admit to it.

Amazing how much of my ability to write is tied to my ability to leap up and pace around my apartment at top speed whenever I get stuck.
This message brought to you by finally reaching the point in my recovery from knee surgery when I can do this again and almost immediately getting back into writing.

Mom: love you too
A minute later
Me: did i tell you i love you?
Me: I feel like I have spiderwebs on me
Friend: huh??
Me freaking out: AM I SPIDERMAM???
Mom talking about time
Me from the living room screaming: TICK TOCK!!!
Me: My face feels like an old man's saggy watermelon
My family: Excuse me 😳
Cursing my doctor everyday
Donna's gonna steal my pants 😭
Knee dr and I talking about pain:
Me: Yeah, I've been crying nearly everyday.
Dr.: Me too

Hi, guys
I know I have been absent, but my mom just had knee surgery and she is in recovery; I have been struggling to pay the bills (I'm even applying to work a second job). But I just launched a Patreon page, for a couple of things. From $5 rune readings to spicy content. If you want to support my content or just help me through these difficult times. I'm not asking for free money. I will even draw for you! Here are some examples of my art if you want to commission those as well. Thank you so much in advance! I appreciate the support I've been getting from the Sims community. I know I lost a lot of followers during my absence, but for the ones that stayed just know that I appreciate you so much.

Post-Op Day 4
Today has been exceedingly educational. Aka, when everyone says "don't stop taking your meds" you should probably listen:
You might need them for longer than you think.
I tried to taper off the percocet - I did fine with 12 hours between doses, so buoyed by my previous success and relative lack of pain, I tried to hold out for 24 hours.
That turns out to have been a mistake.
I have writer brain, so I'm filing this all away for future reference. But I understand now that people react very differently to pain. I think I always sort of knew that, just like I know sometimes I feel sick because I have a bad headache, and not because my stomach is upset.
I saw a lot of posts about people crying, or screaming, when they didn't keep up with their post-op meds (or waited until the nerve block wore off to take them.)
I didn't see anything about throwing up, so I'm going to add my experience to the hat which is to say:
Pain makes me nauseous. I felt sick to my stomach before I even realized I was in pain. When I did, it was that burning again - only worse. I've never been tazed, but I'm imagining it feels something like this, on your whole leg.
Imagine someone replacing your leg with a hot fire poker.
The good news is, percocet kicks in pretty quick. So after white knuckling it for about 30 minutes, hoping it would just pass, I gave up and went for the meds.
I will say, my diversion tactics seem to work to a certain extent - pain is noise and if I give my brain enough other noise to focus on, it seems to help.
Some of it is literal noise - apologies to my eardrums, but it's for a worthy cause. And the rest is sensory - I refilled my water bottle with cold water and put it against the side of my face. I'm not saying I could have functioned in that state, but it was slightly more bearable (and I managed not to puke while waiting for the meds to do their thing.)
Tomorrow we're going to stick to the 12 hour schedule, but on half doses. Just to be on the safe side.
I took my notes and that's not an experience I care to relive.
On a bright note, I finally started Horizon: Forbidden West today. I set it to Ultra Hard to make it last as long as possible - so far so good, since I haven't managed to beat the tutorial boss.
It'a good to have goals.
And skills - I've gotten really good at using my non-op leg to move my bad leg around. I had a lot of practice since I injured it mountainside, then had three days before leaving, then on and off the plane and back to the airport again, and all the time after when my quads weren't firing.
Nurse Hottie was shocked post-op by how well I could maneuver without help. I didn't consider it much, but now I'm remembering a friend explaining how she had to hold her son's leg when he went to the bathroom or showered, and how it was awful for both of them because sometimes she would drop it on accident.
Which is a lot of words to say that no one can be as careful with your knee as you are, and I've been really lucky because I've been managing without a designated Leg Lifter.
Which is probably why I was so startled today when I finally dropped my leg for the first time. I've been elevating on an wheeled ottoman, with stuff behind it so I can't accidentally slide it away. The problem is that then it's in the way when I want to get up, and I can only push it so far, so I need someone to slide it the rest of the way.
Well. They did that thing, but boy was I ever not ready. I'm not sure who was more surprised when my leg came crashing down. It hurt (surprise surprise), but I'm pretty sure it's going to take more than a little unexpected gravity to undo my surgeon's fine handy work.
My lesson here is to put up warning signs, by which I mean micromanage and advocate loudly for your needs to whoever is helping you.
It's one thing to hurt yourself, and another for someone who has no idea what hurts where to accidentally do it.
