Here is some of the equipment used in
Nell's recovery.
I used a walker from the day after surgery
for a few weeks and then switched to a
cane. We did not get pictures taken and
at 7 weeks post-surgery, I didn't use
either.
Nell came home with
staples. She called it
"office supplies".
They were removed
15 days after surgery.
Nell also came home
with the ice machine.
The cooler is full of
ice water. A pump
forces cold water thru
the large blue tube
into the blue bladder
that wraps around the
knee. It is noisy but
so very useful.
A bedside toilet was
useful for a few days.
Then it became a
platform for the pedal
machine.
And ankle weights.
Note the compression
stockings. Needed for
six weeks to help
prevent clots. And a
pain to put on when
you can't bend your
knee.
7 weeks post-surgery

support
