F-35A Lightning II what a show, kamakazee pilot i reckon

Flew directly over my work, I could almost reach out and touch it. As loud as I’ve ever heard the jets overhead

Yep right over the top of my house 4 times, lowest in all the years we have been here, sheer awesomeness

Wasn't ready when he did his 1st pass directly over us. My 24 year old son said he could have watched that all day. Was awesome when he went vertical near the end up through the clouds.

Total Knee Replacement Update:

Day 5 & 6

Sleep is still difficult. Bruising has come out in the knee itself, down to the ankle and every time you lean on it in bed, or have the quilt touch it in bed, it's like getting kicked in a dead leg.

I've progressed off the zimmer frame and onto the walking stick. Mobility is good and pain during the day is quite manageable. I dropped the Endone during the day yesterday and went through ok, but I did ice it all day. The exercises are increasing the flexibility and I can now manage to leave my foot in the shower cubicle! Things you don't even think about when you're in hospital where everything is designed for minimal movement.

The Endone is giving me some strange dreams but does allow me to get to sleep, which is a bonus. 20 mins after taking it, the pain of the knee subdues and allows you to drift off.

Loving the updates, gadj!

I, like you and many of us, are hesitant to pump heavy pain killers in and it's with good reason so I'll always err on under dosing like you did but then you pop a couple and realise they actually work pretty well.

It's to our detriment but it's not a bad approach to take.

Good to hear you've had some better days.

My surgeon was pretty happy that I wasn't relying on OsteoEase to get through day to day prior to the operation. I easily could've but decided not to for the same reason you're suggesting. I sort of, put up with it and now I'm glad I did!

I take a couple of panadol osteo and a glucosamine each day to take he edge off, but I've been guilty of never touching endone when it's been prescribed, just using panadol instead.

Hahahaha! I like to call it elephantitis!

Na, I can't bend my knee enough to get my leg into the shower cubicle.
