She's looking forward to that first BM. Amazing how priorities can shift

A shout out to whomever discovered magnesium citrate.
Thanks to all, MsNative was deeply touched by all the well wishes.

Clogging the system for days is my least favorite part of general anesthesia. Hope things are smooth sailing through recovery and rehab.

Ask her to get up and get moving. When she can't move any more do another 20 reps. Pull, stretch, and bend as often as she can. Then do it again.

She's been working it hard enough but picked up a slight fever from yesterday I'm monitoring.
Tired but smiling when I brought her a cachito and mandoca con queso y nata from a little Venezuelan eatery inside a gas station.
Cachito is a ham and cheese stuffed crescent roll and the other is a corn/plantain fritter dipped in a sweet sauce then shredded cheese.

Prayer going up for a speedy and uneventful recovery

3 week post-op check this AM, all is well.
She's been using a cane for best part of a week walking up to a couple hundred yards, not driving quite yet.
Twice a week therapy plus exercising at home making for a great recovery. Seems like less emphasis on knee angle and more on strengthening surrounding muscle.
Thanks to all who sent good thoughts and vibes this way, I can guarantee they helped.
