I may not be the best hostess tonight in that I had my right knee totally replaced on Monday. Pain medication is my friend at this time! I hope the strong stuff won’t be necessary for very long. Today is a bit better than yesterday. I expect tomorrow will be better still. But not to beat around the bush, this surgery hurt a lot.

Replacing the knee was the right thing to do. That knee was worn out and it certainly wasn’t going to get any better. Once I get this new knee working properly, I look forward to years of better mobility. I really, really miss going for long walks.

Here are a few things for conversation starters. But please feel free to share your own! Please share your day, your weekend plans, your menus! This is an open thread.

x My sick visits have Covid.

My well visits have Covid.

My kids just back from camp have Covid.

Our phones are ringing off the hook about kids with Covid.

I am exhausted.

And school hasn't started yet, folks. #tweetiatrician — Deborah Greenhouse (@greenhousemd) August 3, 2022
