But yeah I do know the pain..... good thing is, it eventually stops hurting.
Unless you are in a brace or cast so that your knee is immobilized, there is no need for being in a wheelchair the whole 2 months. Trust me, you will be ready to get out of that wheelchair and onto crutches as soon as possible.

Thanks guys...kind words indeed.
Yeah range of motion is still very tough. I'm not doing the immobilizer anymore. Kinda combo of a walker and wheelchair at this point. Still sooo fricken weak from the whole damn experience.
But yeah, was just below the knee...I have pics of the Xray somewhere. I'm down for 3 months no weight, so sux...and just HATE having to ask everyone for help all the time.
That's I think the worst feeling about this all, the feeling like you're kinda helpless. The last few days have been a little rough getting down off the percosets and Valium.
The Valium still helps the spasms, but dayum the percosets had me like a woman with PMS.
Was the most fucked up thing coming down off that shit.
Today was my first day going all day with no meds at all. Kinda proud of myself because man can it was not the best ride. I've had better!
Glad to be feeling more myself in my head again. That was rough. Great to be getting back into the groove.
