Total Knee Replacement 3 1/2 week update

Well, I am discouraged. I am walking pretty well but my range of motion is not good. I can bend my knee to about 90 degrees, but I should be at about 105 degrees. To bend is just so painful and I am so tired of taking pain pills. The therapist said to really concentrate on bending this weekend, take the pain pills and just keep working on it....well, I took 2 pain pills and then I was sick to my stomach all day! I don't know what happened.

So, I am going to try again today to push through the pain and get this leg bent! This knee replacement was way more than I thought. For some ignorant reason, I thought this was going to be a piece of cake. WRONG! I know that eventually everything will be OK....but right now I am down in the dumps and discouraged. If anyone has any words of encouragement, please leave a comment!
