Operation Day 0 :it was afternoon at 15:30, all in the same day(test, x ray,blood) were done!
while i was waiting ope time, i was listening motivational music , i had no worry no anxious nothing, i was so relaxed, i m a bit crazy (calm,coldblodded)
i awoke in post surgery room, everything was like it happened nothing, i was accustomed to anesthesia
Pain Level 0/10
Day 1 ( 6 July 2018)it can say the first 1-2 day is challenge because it s obviously normal that your body is faced with a new situation that never happened before, you can't move not too much. Dr Monegal visited me and said Having a perfect operation with minimal scar incision. i think He did recently more bilateral ope. Mine was piece of cake
Pain Level 0/10
1.Epidural in your spine
2. i didnt want catheter in Penis
3. IV in Arm
Day 2 it s better than first day but interestingly, i had a headache, i talked it with Monegal and Anastheist.they said it s pretty normal.Reason could be epidural in spine, they removed it, you know everybody is different and body reacts in different way. Pain Level 0/10 in my legs
i went to toilet very carefully with crutches , it was amazing feeling step by step, and later had shower, Carol who has the same height 1,74 makes me always laugh with her spanish , i try to learn Spanish" necesito un poco de practico: it means i need practice,
i took X ray ,it looks very good,Dr said.
CPM Machine time: i did it today with Physiotherapist, device bend my knee 60° angle about 30 min and then Dr Monegal visited me, we watched game between Croatia-Russia.
He showed me some exercises, Hip Flexion, i said i can't do it and put a towel under my knee and i succeed it. He has really very knowledge about everything.
Day 3 TodayNo Headache, i m sleeping very well since first day and started the day good, Nice Breakfast, some check up, some spanish learn and writing to you on my bed.i will do some exercises Hip flexion, a little walk, i feel myself better, as i said, first 1-2 days are really challenge in term of adaptation .
Pain Level 0/10
Meanwhile After one week staying, i move to Mic St.Jordi. i visited there before i come here, there are now 6-7 patient. i talked with them, they were doing very well, Physio etc. but i think im the one Unilateral Patient. i explain later why i do it.

I believe and trust him and myself in this Journey.
