Knee Replacement Progress

Day 10: Not feeling well today: stomach and headache :( I've been trying to take myself off some of the drugs (less Vicodin) The drugs have caused constipation: (have not gone in 5 days) I am starting to walk a lot better... bend knee, heel then foot, stand up straight. I actually, kinda slept a little on my side last night, which helped me sleep a little better, because I could move some. I wish my leg/knee would not feel numb, aching pain...at times my ankles feel like they are numb also.  The therapist says its like my legs are a highway and my new knee and the surgery are acting like a an accident/ roadblock and that slowly the injured nerves and muscles will  be stimulated and return through exercise, movement and ice.
